In the last 6 meetings, Dinamo Zagreb have beaten Istra 1961 4 times, and 3 of those wins were by a margin of 2 goals or more (4-0, 3-0, 3-1). However, Istra 1961 have also defeated the league champions at home 3-0 in April, and in the most recent meeting at Pula, they lost only 0-2. In their last 5 matches, Istra 1961 have not lost by 2 goals or more, while Dinamo Zagreb have won by 2 goals or more in only 2 of their last 5 (4-0, 3-1). So this is not a fixture where Dinamo Zagreb will always dominate, especially since Istra 1961 have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 (2-2, 2-3, 2-2, 3-0) and just secured a 3-0 home win in their latest match. The home side's attack has enough to hit back, and if Dinamo Zagreb don't score in the late period when they are most prolific (61-75 min, accounting for 22% of all their goals), the chance of the game ending with a margin of no more than 1 goal is wide open.
