Lokomotiva Zagreb vs Rijeka Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Lokomotiva Zagreb go head-to-head with Rijeka in the HNL of Croatia on September 12, with kickoff at 15:00 UTC.

As Lokomotiva Zagreb and Rijeka renew their battle, the memory of Lokomotiva Zagreb's 0-3 win in their HNL encounter from 4 months ago still lingers. Lokomotiva Zagreb's recent form has been disappointing, with consecutive defeats to Rudes and Osijek. Before facing Rijeka, they will face Slaven Koprivnica and Hajduk Split in HNL, and the outcomes of these games may heavily influence their preparations for Rijeka. Strengthening their defense will be critical to turning their fortunes around, since their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have allowed goals in four consecutive matches.

Following a win over NK Istra 1961, Rijeka, compared to their opponent's recent loss, head into this match looking to build on their success. However, their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last four matches. Rijeka have several key matches to navigate before facing Lokomotiva Zagreb though, including Osijek and NK Gorica in HNL and Midtjylland in Conference League Qualifying playoffs, matches that could play a role in shaping their form and readiness for Lokomotiva Zagreb.

In this HNL showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Lokomotiva Zagreb and Rijeka throughout the campaign. Lokomotiva Zagreb’s top finisher Dusan Vukovic and Mirko Maric have played important roles in ensuring their attack, shaped by Nikica Jelavic’s vision, remains effective. Vukovic has emerged as Lokomotiva Zagreb’s leading scorer in HNL this season, netting two goals, while Pajac has been their leading creator in the competition with two assists. Supporting them are Athanasios Triantafyllou, Ivan Katic and Noel Djurkovic, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Lokomotiva Zagreb’s attack.

Meanwhile, Toni Fruk and Tiago Dantas have been pivotal for Rijeka’s attack, with Matja¾ Kek at the helm, combining to deliver important goals and assists. In HNL, Fruk has been Rijeka’s standout scorer with one goal, with Dantas topping their assist tally in the competition with two. Adding further support are Justas Lasickas, Daniel Adu-Adjei and Jakov Puljic, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
