On the 19th of December, Hrvatski Dragovoljac will play host to Dinamo Zagreb in a meeting of these two 1. HNL teams in the anticipated Zagreb derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 5 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Hrvatski Dragovoljac is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Istra 1961. Abdallahi Mahmoud scored the first goal for Istra 1961 in the 19th minute, then Hassane Bandé added another in the 27th minute on a feed from Drena Dijon In the end, Hrvatski Dragovoljac was frustrated by Istra 1961’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Istra 1961 ended the match with the shutout victory. Hrvatski Dragovoljac looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10, while dinamo Zagreb sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Istra 1961. Amer Gojak scored the first goal for Dinamo Zagreb in the 10th minute, then Stefan Ristovski added another in the 8th minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a feed from Stanko Jurić In the end, Istra 1961 was frustrated by Dinamo Zagreb’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Dinamo Zagreb ended the match with the shutout victory. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Dinamo Zagreb should be reasonably happy with their performance.
On the 3rd of October, Dinamo Zagreb hosted Hrvatski Dragovoljac in their last match together. Dinamo Zagreb won by a score of 8 to 0. Josip Mišić struck first for Dinamo Zagreb in the 22nd minute, then Luka Menalo added another in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Moharrami At the end of 90 a dissapointed Hrvatski Dragovoljac couldn’t manage to score, and Dinamo Zagreb took the shutout win.
Mislav Oršić has been the most prolific scorer on Dinamo Zagreb in the last five matches with three goals.
