DWWDDW 📈

In that game, Varaždin had 50% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. For Varaždin, the goals were scored by Dimitar Mitrovski (22') and Matej Vuk (28'). For their opponents, Osijek had 7 attempts on 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.

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Dinamo Zagreb boss Sandro Perković to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Raúl Torrente (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

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.
