Match Preview
Lokomotiva Zagreb will host Varaždin at the Stadion Kranjčevićeva on Saturday, 20 September, in a clash that promises to be competitive given both teams' recent form. Lokomotiva enters the match with a mixed bag of results, having secured two wins in their last five outings but suffering a disappointing loss in their most recent fixture. Conversely, Varaždin has also struggled, managing just one victory in their last five games and facing a tough challenge in maintaining their defensive solidity. A notable angle for this match is the historical head-to-head record, which shows a tendency for draws, with six of the last ten encounters ending level. This suggests that both teams may find it difficult to break the deadlock, especially with Lokomotiva's home advantage and Varaždin's need to improve their away form. With both sides keen to secure points to boost their standings, a closely contested match could be on the cards, making a draw a plausible outcome.
