Lokomotiva Zagreb and Istra 1961 meet in clearly contrasting form. The hosts have just lost 0-1, their second defeat in a row, and have not won in 3 matches, while the visitors just won 3-1 and have taken 3 of their last 5. Lokomotiva Zagreb have won only 2 of 9 matches this season, scoring 11 and conceding 17 - a team whose attack is blunt and whose defence is not solid either. Istra 1961, meanwhile, have collected 12 points from 9 matches, scoring 17 and conceding 14. The numbers say the visitors score more and concede less. If Istra 1961 score first, Lokomotiva Zagreb, who are short on confidence, will have to open up, which could give the visitors room to counter and control the situation. The game is likely to end with the visitors avoiding defeat.
