It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Opatija (placed 9th) in their previous outing. The 2. HNL match ended in a draw 2-2. Varaždin's last match (vs Opatija) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by M. Šego.
A home win before that, celebrating 5-1 vs Croatia Zmijavci.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Lokomotiva Zagreb in just three days.
