Slaven Koprivnica hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 31 points and a 7th position in the 1. HNL table. Visiting Rijeka holds 4th place with 52 pts.
- Slaven Koprivnica have the most dropped points from leading position (25) in 1. HNL
- Rijeka have the most points from losing position (18) in 1. HNL
The visiting Rijeka played their last game only three days ago, a 1. HNL match.
Relegation threatens Koprivnica who should definitely be looking for some points here. Rijeka are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Slaven Koprivnica form and stats
With {2 1. HNL wins}, 7 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Slaven Koprivnica, who have the fewest points (13) at home in 1. HNL, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home 1. HNL games in a row without a win, the Koprivnica fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Varaždin game long ago, can be stopped today. Koprivnica has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager T. Stipić and the players.
Slaven Koprivnica are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Lokomotiva Zagreb. Preceding that match was a defeat to Dinamo Zagreb (0-2).
There will be little rest for Koprivnica after this match as they are travelling to Istra 1961 for a 1. HNL game in only three days.
Koprivnica are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 16 games. 23 goals have been conceded.
Rijeka form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their 1. HNL travels is 8 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats.
Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Hajduk Split's place.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Dinamo Zagreb was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Rijeka has another fixture away, a 1. HNL game, against Varaždin in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The visiting Rijeka have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 22 goals from 16 games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Rijeka have conceded 24 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
