Varaždin sit 4th and have lost just 1 of their 8 matches, while seventh-placed Lokomotiva have already suffered 5 defeats. In their last five matches, the visitors have taken 9 points and conceded just 2 goals, whereas the hosts have collected 4 points and conceded 8.

However, Lokomotiva score an average of 2 goals per home match, while Varaždin also concede 2 per away game, so an away win is far from certain. Varaždin’s key advantages are their more consistent recent form and more effective defense.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
In Lokomotiva’s home matches, both teams scored in 20% of games, while the hosts kept a clean sheet in 80%. Varaždin have recorded BTTS - Yes in 100% of their away matches and average 2.33 goals there, but in their last 5 matches both teams scored in just 20% of cases. During that period, the visitors conceded only 2 goals, an average of 0.4 per match, while Lokomotiva failed to score in 40% of their home games. Although Varaždin’s away defense concedes an average of 2 goals and gives the hosts a chance to score, the more recent results and Lokomotiva’s frequent clean sheets point somewhat more strongly to BTTS - No: at least one team is expected not to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals: this line landed in 60% of Lokomotiva’s home matches and in all of Varaždin’s away matches. The visitors average 2.33 goals scored and 2.00 conceded on the road, which points to both teams finding the net. Caution on higher lines is warranted by Lokomotiva’s home record: they concede just 0.20 goals per match, and Over 2.5 goals has landed in only 20% of their home games. On the other hand, the hosts have conceded an average of 1.60 goals across their last five matches, with opponents posting an xG of 2.39, so their strong home defense does not rule out Varaždin scoring. A forecast of 2.95 total goals supports Over 1.5, but the contrast between the hosts’ home results and the visitors’ away performances reduces confidence in higher goal lines.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: Lokomotiva went into the break level in 4 of 5 home matches, while Varaždin did so in 4 of their last 5 matches overall. Both teams kept a clean sheet in the first half in all matches played so far at home and away, respectively, further pointing to a balanced start. The hosts could gain the upper hand after the break: at home they average 0.8 goals in second halves, while the visitors concede an average of 2.0 away from home; Lokomotiva have also won 60% of their home matches, compared with Varaždin's 33% away win rate. The strongest counterpoint is recent form—the visitors have averaged 1.8 points across their last five matches, compared with 0.8 for the hosts—so a draw through to full-time remains a significant possibility, although X/1 is somewhat better supported by the home and away data.
