Lokomotiva come into this clash following a 1-1 home draw against Rijeka. The visitors typically line up in a traditional 5-2-3, with Fabijan Krivak, Mirko Susak and Aleks Stojakovic as the three most advanced players. In the central areas, Ivan Katic and Blaz Boskovic are likely to operate, with the latter responsible for leading the team’s forward moves. When attacking, they usually look to channel play down the right-hand side, making the most of the space provided by right-back Marko Vesovic. Coach Nikica Jelavic should be very pleased to have his full squad available for this match.
