There are just 2 rounds of fixtures left until the end of the season in the 1. HNL. Dinamo Zagreb have already won the champions title, but the battle in top 5 hasn’t yet ended for the rest of the teams.
This Saturday, NK Osijek travel to Stadion Anđelko Herjavec to face NK Varaždin.
The away side will be striving to secure the second spot in the table, although that won’t be an easy task, as the third placed team of Lokomotiva Zagreb is just 1 point behind. NK Varaždin are safe from relegation, but their overall poor performance throughout the season has left them at the bottom part of the standing.
Another rather tense encounter will be held this Saturday evening, when Istra 1961 host Dinamo Zagreb at their Stadion Aldo Drosina.
The league champions have been flawless throughout their current campaign and they will be aiming to get the most out of their remaining fixtures, as well. The home side don’t have much of chance against their upcoming opponents, so they will preserve their strength for the relegation play-off.
Lokomotiva Zagreb will hope that their home advantage will bring them success against HNK Gorica.
The away side have won just 2 of their last 6 league fixtures and it looks like they will finish season 2019/20 at 6th spot. Lokomotiva Zagreb, on the other hand, have a chance to steal the 2nd place from NK Osijek, but to do so, a win this weekend is a must.
Two teams who are showing pretty similar results lately face each other this Sunday, when Hajduk Split host HNK Rijeka at their Stadion Poljud.
Just one point separates the two teams in the league standing, as Hajduk Split occupy the 5th spot, while HNK Rijeka are placed just one position above their opponents. Both sides will be aiming to qualify for the European tournaments, so expect an exciting weekend clash.
