Rijeka vs Lokomotiva Zagreb: match statistics
Rijeka presents decidedly better home form with 50% matches won at home and an impressive +11 goal difference at their own stadium. The hosts have earned 2 points per game in their last 5 matches, winning 3 encounters, while Lokomotiva Zagreb has a disastrous away record with just 9% wins and a goal difference of -10. The guests have failed to keep a single clean sheet away from home all season, which constitutes a serious weakness given their average of 1.91 conceded goals per away match. Rijeka scores an average of 1.83 goals in home matches with an xG of 1.83, indicating efficiency, whereas Lokomotiva scores an average of only 1 goal away with an xG of 1.32. The form of both teams in the last 5 away matches (dwdldldlldl) shows a lack of stability and a prevalence of draws and losses, which further argues for a sure victory for the hosts.
