Varazdin vs D. Zagreb Prediction & Betting tips
Back to business! Game operations in Croatia will resume this weekend. With the current lead, the championship of Dinamo Zagreb is only a matter of form. In the relegation battle of the 1st HNL, however, it remains exciting. There is a three-way fight for relegation at the end of the season.
The three teams at risk of relegation include Varazdin, Zapresic and Istra 1961. The penultimate table of the 1st HNL will play the relegation matches at the end of the season. Only the bottom of the table in the highest Croatian division has to move into the second division. The red lantern is currently wearing NK Varazdin.
The blue-whites from Varazdin will meet the odds from Zagreb at the Croatian restart. As the Varazdin vs Dinamo Zagreb odds of the best bookmakers illustrate, a clear matter can be expected in favor of the Croatian record champions.
In the recent preparatory games, the Dinamo Zagreb offensive was particularly keen. In contrast, the Varazdin bottom of the table wasn’t exactly the best dress rehearsal before the Zagreb game. Almost a week ago, NK Varazdin suffered a 1-5 defeat against Gorica. Refueling self-confidence looks different.

Varazdin:
NK Varazdin wants to avoid relegation this season at all costs. As the bottom of the table, the starting position for the blue-whites from the north of Croatia is not exactly ideal. Nevertheless, given the current table constellation, there are realistic hopes for a relegation, especially since there are still ten games left.
So far this season, the blues and whites have only scored 17 points in 26 games. NK Varazdin took one of three wins this season against the Croatian record champions. Coach Samir Toplak and his team want to build on this sense of achievement. The 50-year-old Croatian blue and white trainer has been in office for almost four months.
Toplak took over the vacant coaching position from Luka Bonacic. It remains to be seen whether Samir Toplak can still lead the team to relegation. Under his leadership, there have been five points in the last five games.
In terms of performance, there was certainly a small upward trend. It is uncertain whether the blue-whites can continue after the three-month break, but after the weak preparation, there is not much to be said for it. After all, at the dress rehearsal almost a week ago there was a 1: 5 pack of NK Gorica, the sixth in the table of the 1st HNL.
NK Varazdin will face a concentrated offensive by the Croatian record champions this weekend. Even though coach Toplak can draw on the full on Saturday evening, there is hardly anything in Varazdin against Dinamo Zagreb that speaks in favor of the home team. A forecast on the home side is therefore not advisable.
Dinamo Zagreb:
Dinamo Zagreb will contest the end of the season with a new trainer. The “Modri” parted from coach Nenad Bjelica during the season break. Surprising at all, because the former head coach of the Croatian record champion knew how to convince. Igor Jovicevic now takes over the coaching position at Dinamo.
The 46-year-old Croatian was already active as a trainer for the professional team of the “Modri” in the 2018/19 season. Since then, Jovicevic has led the youth team at Dinamo Zagreb, where the Croatian himself started his playing career. In the most recent preparation before the restart, the eleven took three wins in four test games.
Most recently, Jovicevic’s team shot warm with nine goals in the last two preparatory games. As can be seen in the table of the 1st HNL, it is probably only a matter of time before the championship of Dinamo Zagreb is also mathematically sealed. It would be the 21st championship title in club history.
With 51 goals, the “Modri” represent the strongest offensive of the 1st HNL. In this calendar year, the Croatian record champions only failed twice. While the defeat against Osijek (0: 1) will be able to cope with the comfortable lead in the table, the defeat against Rijeka (0: 1) caused the cup to be eliminated in “Hrvatski nogometni kup”.
Until the end of the season, the new trainer has a free ticket, so to speak. In his coaching debut at the weekend, Jovicevic certainly does not want to allow himself to lose any points, especially since Dinamo Zagreb has already dropped at Varazdin.
