From a largely available group, there’s only a single fitness issue for the NK Osijek manager Simon Rožman to be concerned about. Anton Matkovic (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be in action.

💭 Prediction

We feel that NK Osijek will likely be able to score against this Dinamo Zagreb lineup, although it possibly won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We reckon that it will be a 2-1 victory for Dinamo Zagreb at the end of this one. Definitely a tough call.
