Last week Lokomotiva lost in the cup match against Rijeka 1:0, but they played well, and many said that Rijeka didn’t deserve the win. There were many comments about the referee but also about the pitch in Kranjevicevoj in Zagreb which is home to Lokomotiva but Rudes also are playing home matches there. The conditions aren’t the best in this stadium, but Lokomotiva will have to find a way to win the match against Gorica and remain in the fight for the top 4. They are in 5th place with 40 points, and they are undefeated in the last 6 matches in the league.
