Rudeš form and stats

Overall 2. HNL stats at home this season for Rudeš are 3-3-2 (wins-draw-losses). The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Rudeš has won their last four matches. Two home wins in a row for Rudeš bring valid hopes of a third.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Matija Bruci not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.

Rudeš enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Junak's place. The match ended 2-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Osijek II in a game that was won 1-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Rudeš have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Rudeš, as the Croatia Cup home game vs Dinamo Zagreb is only four days away.

The Rudeš fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.
