Gorica and Lokomotiva Zagreb meet often enough to be considered a familiar pairing, and in the last six meetings Lokomotiva Zagreb have come away with the win in four. In the most recent game, in August, they won 3-1. This time the context is different, because both sides have stumbled into the start of the season. Gorica have just 6 points from 10 matches, while Lokomotiva Zagreb have collected 10. Gorica opened with a 1-0 home win and then failed to win any of the next four. Their attack is still laboured, scoring just 7 goals in 10 matches. Lokomotiva Zagreb, meanwhile, won 2-0 in their latest game, but before that they lost two in a row, conceding 3 and 1. Both teams have the same problem at the back: they are easy to break down. The game is likely to be a midfield exchange rather than one side pinning the other back, because both teams hold a similar share of possession and allow their opponents to create a comparable number of chances. It will come down to who scores first and who handles the other's spells of pressure better, and on recent form Lokomotiva Zagreb look to have a little more about them when it comes to getting a result they are not on the wrong side of.
