Lokomotiva Zagreb display a significantly superior home form with a 45% win rate and a positive goal difference (+2) at their own stadium. The hosts score an average of 1.36 goals per match at home while conceding 1.18, giving them an edge over Osijek, who have a mere 10% win rate in away matches and a negative goal difference of -7. Osijek concede an average of 1.7 goals per away game and score only 1 goal per match, which, combined with their poor conversion rate (8%) and 60% away defeats, places them in a difficult situation. The form of both teams in their last five matches also favors the hosts (1.4 PPG vs 0.8 PPG). Considering the xG statistics, home advantage, and Osijek's evident weakness on the road, Lokomotiva Zagreb have a realistic chance of securing three points, although both teams' history of draws suggests a share of the points is also a possibility.
