Groot, welcome to another fixture preview! Today we are looking at the Croatian HNL clash between NK Lokomotiva Zagreb and the league leaders, Dinamo Zagreb. Kickoff is set for 2026-03-21, and there is plenty of meat on the bone here.

Dinamo is sitting pretty at the top of the table with 60 points from 26 games, while Lokomotiva is way back in 7th place with just 30 points. That is a massive gap, braai master. Dinamo has won 8 of their last 10 games, scoring an impressive 2.80 goals per game on average. Lokomotiva has only managed 4 wins in their last 10, scoring 1.60 goals per game.

Looking at the head-to-head, Dinamo has won 4 of the last 9 meetings, including the most recent one on 2025-12-20 which ended 0-2. The goal expectancy analysis suggests around 3.0 goals in this match, with Dinamo expected to score 1.62 goals and Lokomotiva 1.38 goals.

Lokomotiva does have a decent home record (75% win rate in last 4 home games), but Dinamo is in flying form away from home too, winning 75% of their last 4 away games. The odds for the Away Win are sitting at 1.45, which implies a probability of roughly 69%. Given Dinamo's 80% win rate in their last 10 and the 30-point gap in the standings, we estimate the true probability is closer to 75%. That gives us a nice edge.

Key Points:

• Dinamo Zagreb leads the HNL with 60 points; Lokomotiva is 7th with 30 points.

• Dinamo has won 8 of their last 10 matches.

• Head-to-Head: Dinamo won the last meeting 2-0.
