The Osijek II & Croatia Zmijavci managers I. Tolić and M. Karoglan are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the 2. HNL league table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Osijek II and Croatia Zmijavci.
Osijek II form and stats
When playing at home in the 2. HNL, Osijek II, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in 2. HNL, have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games.
The Osijek II fans got no joy from their last match, a 2. HNL game also here at Stadion Gradski: A 0-1 defeat against Croatia Zmijavci (placed 5th). Before that, Osijek had a home game versus Medimurje Cakovec which ended with a victory 6-0.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (8 in 4 games), Osijek II's attacking play is working. As for guarding their own goal, Osijek have only let in 1 goal at home.
Croatia Zmijavci form and stats
Things could have gone better for Croatia Zmijavci in their 2. HNL away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Two travels in a row for Zmijavci, whose manager M. Karoglan could celebrate last time after the 2. HNL win against Osijek II. A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Sesvete.
Zmijavci are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. The Zmijavci defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
