NK Lokomotiva Zagreb vs HNK Gorica Prediction (08.08.2026)

Lokomotiv Zagreb missed out on European club competitions last season after finishing fifth in the Croatian league. However, the new campaign started in the best possible way for the team with a victory over Istra, and now they have their first home match of the season against Gorica.

Gorica finished just behind Lokomotiv last season but failed to start the new season as well. In the first round, the team lost at home 0:2 to Osijek and now faces a tough away match. The last two encounters between these opponents have also been entirely in favor of Lokomotiv Zagreb, who won them 2:0 and 3:0. When we add to this the successful start and the advantage of playing at home, the hosts seem closer to the three points.

The start of the season shows a different mood in the two teams, and Lokomotiv already has two consecutive convincing victories against this opponent behind them. Now the team will also play in front of their own fans, which further increases their chances of another success. Therefore, I will trust Lokomotiv Zagreb to win the match.
