Season ticket holders at Stadion Anđelko Herjavec haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Varaždin languishing in the 8th position so far. The guesting Slaven Koprivnica 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!
Varaždin form and stats
0-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. HNL numbers at home for Varaždin, who have the fewest points (1) at home in 1. HNL, so far this season. It's trouble wherever Varaždin are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Varaždin are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadion Anđelko Herjavec, having lost their two previous games here.
Varaždin lost their last game at Rijeka (placed 4th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Varaždin won a home game hosting Cibalia (2-0).
This is expected to be a close game, with Varaždin perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Varaždin as a small favourite), we find four games. Varaždin has won three of these, drawn zero and lost one.
Varaždin aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion Anđelko Herjavec in the league, with only 3 goals from 4 games. Varaždin have conceded 9 goals in these home games, a significant number.

As you can tell from the results above, Koprivnica was very dominant against Istra 1961, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with T. Božić (2), N. Glavčić, M. Boakye and I. Krstanović providing the goals.
