Struggling Junak will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Sesvete in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Junak and Sesvete should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Junak form and stats
Junak's results here at Gradski Stadion in the 2. HNL have been very modest with 0 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats. Junak are slowly digging their own grave here at Gradski Stadion with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Zagora match.
Junak faced defeat in their previous match, away at Hajduk Split II (0-1). In the match before that, Junak hosted Bijelo Brdo and drew the game 2-2.
The Junak fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Junak with 14 goals conceded in these matches.
Sesvete form and stats
Playing away, Sesvete, who have the most scored goals (29) in 2. HNL, have won 4 games, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the 2. HNL this season. Sesvete has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The manager D. Babić was unhappy after their last game, a 2. HNL match played at their home ground Stadion Sv. Josip Radnik. Sesvete suffered a 1-5 loss to Osijek II (placed 2nd). Prior to that match, the Sesvete manager D. Babić faced defeat when travelling to Hrvatski Dragovoljac and losing 2-3.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Osijek II was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Sesvete are regular goalscorers on their travels. Sesvete's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
