This match features two teams living in the basement of the 1. HNL, Varaždin holding 8th place and Inter Zaprešić lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
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!
Varaždin form and stats
With {3 1. HNL wins}, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Varaždin are certainly not brimming with confidence. Varaždin are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadion Anđelko Herjavec with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Istra 1961 match.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Istra 1961 in the 1. HNL last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Hajduk Split and winning 3-2.
Opportunity lost for Varaždin in the Istra 1961 match as a lead 3-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. Vinko Petković was able to secure the draw 0-0 in the game against Istra 1961 after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Varaždin have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost zero.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Varaždin here at Stadion Anđelko Herjavec in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 15 games). On the other hand, Varaždin have conceded 21 goals.
Inter Zaprešić form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Inter Zaprešić, who have the most conceded goals (59) in 1. HNL, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-9 (win-draw-lose). Zaprešić are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Istra 1961 fixture. It's all red in the travel logs of Zaprešić, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
Zaprešić have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 323 minutes ago. I. Mamut was the goal scorer.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 1. HNL home defeat versus Osijek with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Zaprešić manager T. Ivković faced defeat when travelling to Istra 1961 and losing 0-2.
We have checked recent matches where Inter Zaprešić have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those three games were one victory, one draw and one defeat.
The attacking power of Inter Zaprešić when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 15 league matches away. The Zaprešić manager T. Ivković has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels.
