Istra have the reputation of being a defense-oriented team, but they always play interesting and attractive games with Lokomotiva. Their last 5 head-to-head games were overs, which is important since the same coached have been in charge at the teams the whole time. The reason for their games to always end with a lot of goals scored is probably the fact they're a good match-up when it comes to offense. Lokomotiva have a young defense that struggles to cope with Radonjic (scored 4 goals this and last season), and Jo is now back on the visiting team to create even more trouble for Lokomotiva. On the other hand, Lokomotiva's players have excellent technical skills that enable them to create attempts against virtually any team, even those with a defense-oriented approach. Lokomotiva scored two or more goals in ten games so far (13 rounds played). They didn't score only against Dinamo (!?), against Zagreb early in the season, and against Zadar (numerous unlikely misses). Neither Lokomotiva nor Istra have any reason to be careful today, with Istra's stats as the only reason to reconsider this bet. But, out of their 10 unders, 7 ended at 2 goals. Besides, Istra are much better offense-wise now, lead by Radonic and Jo, than they were early season, lead by Ivancic, Spehar and Huseinbasic.
