The 1. HNL season is not yet halfway through, but Slaven Koprivnica and Dinamo Zagreb both need points from this match for different reasons. The hosts sit 7th and have just thrashed their opponents 4-1 at home in their latest league match, while the visitors are 5th, trailing the top group, and have just won 1-0 away in the Europa League. Slaven Koprivnica return home with confidence after scoring four, but their overall season has been unsettled. They have conceded 17 goals in 9 matches, while Dinamo Zagreb have scored 18 in 8 matches and have the more dangerous attack, though their defence is not especially tight, particularly early in the first half when they concede unusually often. This game is likely to be more open than expected. The hosts must defend well and wait for counter-attacking chances from pace on the flanks, while Dinamo Zagreb are likely to dominate possession and push high to press from the start. If the hosts cope with the early pressure, the game will stretch and there will be chances at both ends.
