👥 Head to head

Looking at their past head to head meetings going back to 27/04/2024 reveals that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Varaždin. They’ve not been able to come away with any wins whatsoever while Dinamo Zagreb have remained in the ascendancy, winning in 67 per cent of those ties.

An aggregate of 14 goals were yielded between them in these games, with 9 of them from Plavi and 5 created by Bumbari. The average goals per game has been 2.33.

Dinamo Zagreb had 20 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Mateo Lisica (23') and Sandro Kulenović (92') scored.

The referee was Mateo Erceg.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Dinamo Zagreb can and should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

However, Varaždin are also probably going to find it difficult to score a goal of their own although we do reckon that they could well end up scoring.

Therefore, we are anticipating a decent 3-1 victory for Dinamo Zagreb at the end of the match.
