Dinamo Zagreb (Home)
- GNK Dinamo Zagreb have hit top gear at the perfect time, following up a 5-0 hammering of NK Lokomotiva Zagreb away with a 4-2 home win over NK Slaven Belupo in their last two HNL fixtures, both of which they dominated.
- Mario Kovačević has done a brilliant job since taking over as Head Coach in June 2025 and his side are the dominant force in Croatian football once again.
- The hosts have amassed a league high of 63 points from 27 games and their recent form suggests that they will extend that advantage with 3 points again this weekend.

Osijek (Away)
- Osijek are a solid team in the HNL, but they have struggled since Tomislav Radotić took over as the Head Coach in February 2026.
- Radotić has implemented his own ideas and tactics at the club during a difficult period, but they have won just 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their 5 competitive games since the new coach’s arrival.
- NK Osijek have drawn their last 2 games 0-0, but that is a stark contrast to Dinamo Zagreb’s last 2 matches, which have seen them score 5 and 4 goals respectively.
- NK Osijek have their own attacking prowess however, and the game will likely be open and full of action.
- Dinamo Zagreb play a flexible 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation and focus on a high-tempo, possession-based game with vertical transitions, width from advanced full-backs and an aggressive counter-pressing style.
- Osijek are often set up with wingbacks and a high line, which suits their direct style of play and fast-paced attacking moves down the wings.
Head-to-Head
- Dinamo Zagreb have won their last 5 consecutive matches.
- Dinamo Zagreb have won the last 3 head-to-head meetings between the two clubs, including a 3-0 away win in HNL 2025/2026.
