BetGenius backs HNK Rijeka or Draw (Double Chance) at 76% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
NK Lokomotiva Zagreb host HNK Rijeka in round seven of the HNL, looking to halt a difficult spell in league play. Lokomotiva enter the contest sitting seventh in the table on six points from six matches, having suffered four league defeats and conceding 12 goals across those fixtures.
HNK Rijeka travel to Zagreb positioned fifth with 10 points from five games. Rijeka come into the match following an emphatic 4-1 league win over NK Osijek, driven by attacking contributions from D. Adu-Adjei, who has scored three goals, and playmaker T. Fruk, who has registered three assists this season.
Head-to-head records strongly favour the visitors. Rijeka have remained unbeaten in their last eight encounters with Lokomotiva across all competitions, including six victories and two draws, most recently securing a 3-0 away win in May 2026.
