Venue: Stadion Kranjčevićeva (10850 seats)

Season ticket holders at Stadion Kranjčevićeva haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Rudeš languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Gorica will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Rudeš form and stats

With 2 wins, 1 draw and 12 defeats from their home games, Rudeš, who have the fewest points (7) at home in 1. HNL, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever Rudeš are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Rudeš, their manager T. Ivković and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Rudeš lost their last game at Rijeka after a 1-3 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Rudeš lost 1-2 at home to Lokomotiva Zagreb.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Rudeš here at Stadion Kranjčevićeva, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 15 games). Rudeš have conceded 32 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Gorica form and stats

As the visiting team Gorica have produced an overall stat of 8-4-3 so far. Visiting Gorica has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
