DWWDDW 📈

Varaždin will come into the encounter after a 2-1 Prva Liga win with the defeat of NK Osijek in their most recent outing.

In that game, Varaždin had 50% possession and 11 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. For Varaždin, the goalscorers were Dimitar Mitrovski (22') and Matej Vuk (28'). On the other side, Osijek had 7 attempts at goal with 3 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.
