ISTRA 1961 v DINAMO ZAGREB
Sunday 28th August 2016 – Kickoff: 2100hrs
Football – Croatia – 1.HNL Betting Tips
Sunday’s hosts Istra 1961 currently occupy a lowly second from bottom position in the Croatian top flight ahead of what appears to be a very difficult challenge with in-form Dinamo Zagreb at their Stadion Aldo Drosina as they look to lift themselves away from relegation danger.
But it won’t be easy despite holding home advantage as they’ve failed to win in each of their first six league matches of the season with draws against Lokomotiva Zagreb, Slaven Koprivnica and Cibalia being their best yield to date.
Indeed, it’s now 14 home matches without a win for Istra and this evening doesn’t get any easier for the hosts who may have to wait another week to gain their first league win of the season. In addition, they’ve failed to score in 10 of these 14 matches so they appear to be up against it here.
Visitors Dinamo Zagreb are currently sitting second place in the Croatian top flight and are three points behind leaders Rijeka, so they’ll be keen to register another win here this evening in order to keep pace with the early leaders.
Having won their last four 1.HNL matches on the trot with wins over Cibalia, Hajduk Split, Inter Zapresic and Split, this evening’s visitors stand every chance of claiming the maximum haul in Pula on Sunday evening.
Dinamo Zagreb have also won their last five away matches on the trot and they’re gaining momentum both at home and away in the Croatian top flight and will be looking for another win here tonight. Strikers Soudani and Fernandes look the likely anytime goalscorers for the visitors.
Pick: Dinamo Zagreb to win @ 1.55 Ladbrokes
