Analysis Lokomotiva

The away team plays against Istra 1961 a match for the 16 round, which had been delayed, after 4 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses in the league so far. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 3 points in away matches and 9 points at their stadium, with 10 goals scored and 21 goals conceded at home, against 7 goals scored and 16 conceded in away matches.

HNL, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 23 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Lokomotiva plays away from home, however it cannot accept defeat, so the team needs to try to dominate the match to dictate the pace of the game and not give chances to the opponent. The team's campaign is bad and only three points take the Zagreb club out of the relegation zone, so the team should maintain an agile and constant attack to be able to win the victory.

Confirmed Lineup: Krševan Santini, Stipo Marković, Josip Pivarić, Branimir Cipetić, Marko Leskovic, Kyriakos Papadopoulos, Mateo Marić, Enis Çokaj, Bartosz Pretnik, Irfan Hadžić, Antonio Marin.
