Zagorec form and stats

Zagorec could celebrate like crazy last season after winning the Second NL. Home supporters are hoping for more of the same this season. In the home games here at ŠRC Podgora they witnessed 14 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. In total the trophy was secured after W24 - D6 - L4 from 34 games.

Osijek II form and stats

Let's have a look at how Osijek II performed last season in the Second NL: They landed a 15th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 7 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 25 and conceded 36 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 3 and lost 8 with 11/19 goals scored/conceded.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Osijek playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 2 away wins, 0 draws and 4 home wins.

It's a day of discovery for Osijek II as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Osijek II have played one with the results W0-D0-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games Osijek II has scored 0 goals and conceded 5 times.
