Match description

Dinamo is the clear favorite in this fixture: they win 67% of away matches and sit 1st, while Istra have only a 33% home win rate and are 7th. 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. Defensively Dinamo also dominate — they concede 0.73 goals per away game, keep 53% clean sheets away and have an xG against of 1.13, while Istra concede 1.4 at home, have only a 13% clean sheet rate and xG against 1.7. 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.
