The 21st round will be closed in Koprivnica with the match between Slaven Belupo and Lokomotiva. It will be a match for true neutral football fans because both teams play attractive football. Kovacevic's Slaven are a real hit, and what Cabraja is doing with Lokomotiva is a real miracle, as we could see last Sunday when Hajduk fell in Kranjca. Both teams are close to the relegation zone, but I think that staying in the league is not an issue for these teams, there are much weaker teams in the league.

Slaven Belupo are a serious team, they have a lot of experienced players, and they are well-organized. They go for a win in every game, so I expect it to be the same on Sunday. They are playing much better than it shows in the table. They are in sixth place with 22 points, five wins, seven draws, and eight defeats. In the last five matches in the league, they lost only once against Rijeka, but in the last two matches, after the winter break, they are undefeated with two draws against Hajduk and Sibenik, both as visitors. In this match, they will be without Jagusic and Agbekpornu, but I think that Slaven will remain undefeated in this match in front of their fans.
Lokomotiva
Form: WLWDW
For me, Lokomotiva got one of the best managers in the league this season. Cabraja was left without several important players before the start of the season, and yet he composed a young team that can play against anybody in the league on a high level. They are full of confidence, they are in a positive mood, and they have been training great all week. They have to be like that after they beat the Whites in the last round. They also have 22 points and are in seventh place. In the last five matches, they have three wins and two draws. They opened the new year with a heavy defeat against Rijeka 4:1, but in the last round against all odds, they won against Hajduk at home 3:2.
Expert Betting Tips
I expect this match to be one of the best matches of this round for neutral football fans. Both teams are playing fast, attacking football and it’s the reason why I expect both of them to score at least a goal and the match to end with over 2.5 goals. Three of their last five matches ended with more than 2.5 goals and both teams scored, Lokomotiva won twice while Slaven Belupo only once. I think that Slaven Belupo have a great chance today to get all three points, but it will be an interesting and tight duel.
