Lokomotiva Zagreb form and stats
Lokomotiva Zagreb's results here at Stadion Kranjčevićeva in the 1. HNL have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 9 defeats.

The last victory here came in the Slaven Koprivnica match. It's trouble wherever Lokomotiva are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
I. Hadzic was the last player to score a league goal for Lokomotiva and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Lokomotiva Zagreb haven't scored in 512 minutes.
