General match analysis
Lokomotiva Zagreb have a perfect home record: they have won 100% of their home matches, score an average of 3 goals per game there, and have never failed to find the net. Rijeka have not won a single away match, average 0 goals scored, and have failed to score in 100% of such fixtures, despite maintaining 66% possession. The hosts are in a poor overall run, with 1 win and 4 defeats in their last 5 matches and 10 goals conceded, but their home advantage is clearly reflected in the data. Rijeka have the better recent points-per-game form, averaging 1.4 points per match compared with Lokomotiva’s 0.6, but their away xG of 1.41 has yet to translate into a single goal. Lokomotiva’s superior home finishing and Rijeka’s extremely poor attacking output away from home point towards a home win, although the draw remains a significant risk.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal in favor of BTTS - No comes from Rijeka’s performances away from home: they have yet to score, have recorded BTTS in 0% of matches, and failed to find the net in 100% of their fixtures. Their shot-conversion rate is 0%, while they average only 2.5 shots on target per match. Meanwhile, Lokomotiva restricts opponents to just 0.93 xG. Rijeka are solid defensively, however, keeping a clean sheet in 50% of away matches and allowing opponents just 0.67 xG, which further increases the risk that one side will remain goalless. The form over the last five matches has been more open, with both teams recording BTTS at 60%, but Lokomotiva average only 1.0 goal scored and Rijeka concede 1.8, so the edge toward a scenario with at least one team failing to score is slight but significant.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
At home, Lokomotiva have been creating a high volume of chances, averaging 2.70 xG, 22.33 shots and 10.67 shots on target per match. However, the hosts have been less effective in attack across their last five games, scoring an average of 1.0 goal while conceding 2.0, with their xG against reaching as high as 2.24. In their last five matches, Rijeka have averaged 1.6 goals scored and 1.8 conceded, with at least three goals being scored in 60% of those fixtures. Both teams have seen Over 2.5 goals land in 60% of their last five matches, but Rijeka’s away record includes 50% of games with a clean sheet and no goals scored, which reduces confidence in higher goal lines. The strongest signal therefore remains Over 1.5 goals, as Lokomotiva’s attacking profile and both teams’ recent defensive struggles clearly support a minimum of two goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Lokomotiva have won all three of their home matches so far, scoring an average of 3.0 goals and taking the lead at the break on each occasion. Their first-half performances at home have been particularly strong: the hosts have averaged 2.0 goals scored before half-time and conceded just 0.33, while Rijeka have yet to score before the break away from home and have been behind at half-time in 50% of their matches. Lokomotiva also hold the edge in chance creation, recording an average xG of 2.70 and 10.67 shots on target, compared with Rijeka’s 1.41 xG and 2.5 shots on target. The main risk comes from recent form, with Lokomotiva losing four of their last five matches and Rijeka winning two of five. However, the hosts’ very strong first-half numbers make a Lokomotiva lead at half-time followed by a home win the most likely HT/FT scenario.
