The visiting Kustošija side should be favourites in this visit to Dinamo Zagreb II, as the away team holds a 9 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Dinamo Zagreb II has the fewest scored goals (11) in 2. HNL
  • Kustošija has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (3) in 2. HNL

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a 2. HNL match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Dugopolje, so at least Dinamo Zagreb II are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Dinamo Zagreb II form and stats

Dinamo Zagreb II, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in 2. HNL, have played 6 2. HNL games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Dinamo Zagreb II haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 223 minutes ago. E. Julardzija scored that one.

Dinamo are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Dugopolje. Heartbreak before that as Dinamo lost 0-2 at Inter Zaprešić's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Dinamo Zagreb II have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost three.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Medimurje Cakovec are coming to town in three days.

The Dinamo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. 6 goals have been conceded.

Kustošija form and stats

The visitors are W2-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the 2. HNL.

Kustošija won their last game, 2-1 versus Opatija played at home. A 2-2 draw at Inter Zaprešić's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kustošija playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Kustošija win, one draw and one defeat.

Kustošija have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 7 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Kustošija have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
