Preview

Match preview

HNK Hajduk Split welcome NK Lokomotiva Zagreb to Poljud in round five of the HNL campaign. Hajduk Split enter the clash sitting fourth in the table with seven points from their opening four matches, having found the net nine times across that span. Their attack has been sharp on home turf, where they have scored six goals in two league outings and recorded a dominant 4-0 victory over NK Osijek.

NK Lokomotiva Zagreb sit two places behind in sixth position with six points. While they have shown offensive capability with seven goals scored, their defensive frailties have been evident on their travels. Lokomotiva have suffered two defeats in three away fixtures, conceding seven goals on the road, including a 4-1 loss against Rudes in their most recent league outing.

Historical encounters between these two sides suggest another high-tempo affair. Hajduk Split hold the advantage with five wins from the last ten meetings between the teams, while nine of those ten clashes saw both teams find the back of the net. With Hajduk solid at home and Lokomotiva struggling to keep clean sheets, the hosts hold the upper hand coming into this fixture.

Hajduk Split remain unbeaten at home in league action, scoring six goals in two matches while averaging three goals per game at Poljud. In contrast, Lokomotiva Zagreb have lost two of their three away league matches, conceding an average of 2.3 goals per game on the road and failing to keep a clean sheet all season. Across the last ten head-to-head fixtures, Hajduk Split have lost only twice, making the home double chance a well-supported position alongside an expectation of goals given the 3.3 match average in past meetings.
