Form: LLLWD

While their campaign did not begin as they had hoped, as they suffered their first road loss, they now face the visitors, with whom they have not had the best of experiences in previous meetings but with whom they will be looking to change all that.

In the Croatian championship standings, they are in ninth place, level on points with Rijeka in tenth. They rapidly went from a streak of two straight draws to three straight losses, which is no small feat for a team that finished in 6th place the season before.

While they may not be known as a team that recovers well from defeats, but they should still try to frustrate the hosts in any way they can, which will require them to defend more deeply.
