Opatija are unlocking their away locker room to Kustošija for yet another key fixture following their 0-1 result vs 10th-placed Inter Zaprešić.
- Opatija have won significantly less corners at home than away.
- Kustošija have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

There's been little loot from Kustošija's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the 2. HNL. Kustošija only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.

Kustošija won their last game, 2-1 versus Croatia Zmijavci played at home.
