The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Osijek are in the 4th position while the guests worry at 7th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Osijek form and stats
Osijek have been very solid at home in the 1. HNL so far, with 23 points collected from 9 matches (7-2-0). This has contributed greatly to their 4th position in the table. Osijek has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Gradski vrt. We remember; it was Varazdin.
The Osijek supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Lokomotiva Zagreb in 1. HNL and win 4-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Inter Zapresic and winning 2-0.
As mentioned above, Osijek "killed" Lokomotiva Zagreb in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Osijek are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found five matches and the win/draw/lost stats: W4-D1-L0.
Osijek can score goals in their home matches. After 9 league matches they have found the net 18 times. From these home matches, Osijek have conceded only 6 goals.
Slaven Koprivnica form and stats
There's been little loot from Slaven Koprivnica's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the 1. HNL. Slaven Koprivnica, who have the most conceded goals (21) away in 1. HNL, only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw.
Slaven Koprivnica play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Gorica (placed 6th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Gorica at their stadium, the result 2-1.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Slaven Koprivnica played away with similar odds. This revealed six games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 1 time, 0 were draws and the home team won as expected 5 times.
The attacking power of Slaven Koprivnica when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. The Slaven Koprivnica manager T. Stipić has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
