General match analysis
Dinamo Zagreb have won all 5 of their home matches so far, scoring an average of 2.6 goals and conceding just 0.6, while Rijeka have won only 1 of their 5 away games. The hosts pose a greater threat: they average 8.8 shots on target at home compared with Rijeka’s 3.8 away, and their xG stands at 2.44 against their opponents’ 1.69. Although the visitors have won 4 of their last 5 matches and scored 16 goals in that run, they average just 0.8 goals away from home and have failed to score in 40% of their matches. Dinamo have also stumbled recently, losing 2 of their last 5 games, but their home scoring record and 60% clean-sheet rate point to a home win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS has landed in 75% of Dinamo’s home matches and 60% of Rijeka’s away games, favoring a scenario in which both teams score. Dinamo averages 3.0 goals at home and has yet to finish a home match without scoring, making a Dinamo goal particularly likely. Rijeka is the less certain side: it averages just 0.8 goals away and has failed to score in 40% of its away games, but has averaged 3.2 goals and an xG of 1.94 across its last five matches overall. Dinamo conceded an average of 1.4 goals over the same period, and BTTS landed in 60% of both teams’ last five matches, so despite the risk of the visitors drawing a blank, I’m backing BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Dinamo average 3.0 goals scored at home, while Rijeka concede 1.6 goals away, pointing to strong scoring potential for the hosts. Dinamo average 9.0 shots on target compared with Rijeka’s 3.8, although the visitors’ away xG of 1.69 gives them a chance to get on the scoresheet. The teams’ last five matches averaged 4.0 and 4.4 goals respectively, with at least three goals scored in 80% and 100% of those games. Even so, Over 1.5 is a stronger pick than the higher goal lines: it landed in 100% of Dinamo’s home matches and 80% of Rijeka’s away matches, while Over 3.5 goals landed in 50% and 20%, respectively.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Dinamo won all 4 included home matches and led at the break in each, making a home lead from half-time the scenario best supported by the data. At home, Dinamo averaged 2.0 goals before the break, while Rijeka scored an average of 0.4 goals in that period away from home and were level at half-time 3 times in 5 matches. Dinamo’s advantage also extends across the full match: the hosts averaged 3.0 goals and 9.0 shots on target at home, while Rijeka conceded 1.6 goals and recorded 3.8 shots on target away. After the break, Dinamo averaged 1.0 goal at home, while Rijeka won none of their 5 away second halves, which supports the hosts holding on to their lead. Rijeka’s strong form across their recent matches—4 wins in 5—raises the risk, but their away record stands at just 1 win in 5 matches, so 1/1 remains the most likely HT/FT outcome.
