Slaven Koprivnica and Istra 1961 spectators can't wait for 1. HNL clash at Gradski Stadion

Competition: Croatia 1. HNL
Date: Mon 08.April
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Gradski Stadion (4000 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the 1. HNL, Slaven Koprivnica holding 8th place and Istra 1961 lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a 1. HNL game only four days ago. That game, against Rudes, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Istra 1961.

Istra 1961 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Istra 1961 so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-10 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Istra 1961 as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Gorica. With the Istra 1961 losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Istra 1961, facing their second straight away game. Especially as that game, in the 1. HNL, ended a defeat 0-1 versus Rudes. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Hajduk Split.

The attacking power of Istra 1961 when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored in 14 matches. Istra 1961 have conceded 25 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Istra 1961 - Slaven Koprivnica 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 5 - 3 - 2 (Slaven Koprivnica wins - draws - Istra 1961 wins).
