Varaždin
DWWDDW 📈
Varaždin will go into this clash following a 2-1 Prva Liga win vs NK Osijek in their previous outing.
In that match, Varaždin managed 50% possession and 11 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. For Varaždin, the scorers were Dimitar Mitrovski (22') and Matej Vuk (28'). On the other side, Osijek got 7 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Hernâni (9') was the scorer for NK Osijek.
A series of very capable performances by the Varaždin defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their previous 6 fixtures combined. During the same time, their own attack force has managed to score 7. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this game, though.
Taking a look at their past results, Varaždin:
- have not emerged victorious against Dinamo Zagreb when they have played them away from home in the previous 13 league games. Imagine their relief when they finally get an away win.
- are undefeated in their last 2 league matches away from home.

Team News: Dinamo Zagreb
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the Dinamo Zagreb manager Sandro Perković to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Raúl Torrente (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t play.

Prediction
It looks to us that Dinamo Zagreb look likely to fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they line up against Varaždin, who might well find it difficult to find the back of the net.
Our selection here is for a 2-0 victory for Dinamo Zagreb at the conclusion of the game.
