The league table in 2. HNL tells a story about these teams so far, with Opatija leading Croatia Zmijavci by 10 points. Match preview to follow:
- Opatija has the most points from losing position (11) in 2. HNL
- Croatia Zmijavci have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the 2. HNL. This match was also played here at Stadion Kantrida. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Croatia Zmijavci have had more rest.
Opatija form and stats
3-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. HNL numbers at home for Opatija, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) at home in 2. HNL, so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Opatija after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Opatija's previous game was a 2. HNL match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Inter Zapresic (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Opatija lost 1-2 at Kustosija's place.
Opatija has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. 8 goals have been conceded.
Croatia Zmijavci form and stats
There's been little loot from Croatia Zmijavci's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the 2. HNL. Croatia Zmijavci only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.
Zmijavci are travelling again after losing away to Kustosija in their previous match (2-4). A draw for Croatia Zmijavci before that, at their own venue hosting Cibalia (1-1).
As you can tell from the result, the match against Kustosija was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Zmijavci have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. 9 goals have been conceded by Croatia Zmijavci in these games.
