The hosts create significantly more chances — on average 17.6 shots and 7.07 on target per match with a conversion of 17%, versus 10.73 shots, 3.67 on target and 11% conversion for the visitors away. Defensively Dinamo concedes only 0.93 goals at home (xG against 0.89), while Varaždin concede 1.33 away (xG against 1.76); the hosts have 33% clean sheets at home versus 20% clean sheets for the visitors on the road. In the last 5 matches Dinamo scored 21 goals and average 2.6 points, while Varaždin have 7 goals and 2.0 points in that period; additionally the hosts win 80% of home matches, and the visitors win 33% of away games. Considering the home goal difference (+31 vs -3), 0% FTS for Dinamo versus 27% FTS for the visitors, and the advantage in xG and shooting situations, I predict a home win.
