Offensively the visitors have a significant edge — Dinamo scores 2.4 goals per away game and registered 24 goals in the last 5 matches (4.8 per game), whereas Istra score 1.07 at home and only 6 goals in their last five appearances (1.2 per game). Quality of chances is supported by average shots and xG: Dinamo average 16.27 shots and 5.6 on target away with an xG of 1.97, versus Istra’s 11.33 shots, 3.47 on target and xG 1.4 at home.

Considering Dinamo’s 2.6 points per game in the last 5 matches versus Istra’s 1.2, coupled with superiority in shooting and defensive efficiency, I expect a Dinamo victory.
