Lok. Zagreb vs Vukovar 1991 Prediction: Betting Tips & Match Analysis

The Lok. Zagreb vs Vukovar 1991 prediction for Friday, January 24, 2026, promises to be a fascinating story in the heart of the SuperSport HNL. Scheduled for 14:00 GMT at Zagreb’s iconic Stadion Maksimir, this Round 19 encounter is more than just a mid-table meeting—it’s a test of resilience, ambition, and tactical nous. With Lokomotiva Zagreb (Lok. Zagreb) sitting 8th with 19 points and Vukovar 1991 just behind in 9th on 15 points, both sides are eager to start the new year on the right foot. Let’s dive into the details, tactics, and betting tips that matter for this fixture.

Team News, Tactics, and Recent Form

Lok. Zagreb might not be setting the league alight, but their pedigree and home advantage are hard to ignore. Despite a recent run of three draws and three losses in their last six HNL outings, the hosts have shown they can punch above their weight—just ask Dinamo Zagreb, who fell 2-1 to Lokomotiva in October 2025, despite the odds being stacked against the home side.

Vukovar 1991, meanwhile, are enjoying their first top-flight season since their re-founding in 2012. Their promotion last year was a fairytale, but the reality of the HNL has been tough: only 15 points from 18 matches. However, their fighting spirit is clear, as seen in their 1-1 draw away at Istra 1961, where they defied pre-match odds of 6.1 to secure a valuable point.

Tactically, expect Lok. Zagreb to control possession (projected at 62%) and push forward with intent. Their expected 15 shots and 6 corners indicate a proactive approach, likely relying on quick transitions and width to break down Vukovar’s defensive lines. Vukovar, on the other hand, will probably sit deeper, look to counter, and hope to capitalize on set pieces and the occasional defensive lapse from the hosts.

  • Lok. Zagreb have a squad valued at €10.05m, giving them a slight edge in quality and depth.
  • Vukovar 1991 are worth €7.74m, but have shown that grit can sometimes outweigh market value.
  • In their last head to head on August 1, 2025, Lokomotiva edged a narrow 1-0 win, underlining their ability to grind out results at home.

Lok. Zagreb vs Vukovar 1991 Prediction: AI Insights & Betting Tips

Our AI-powered Lok. Zagreb vs Vukovar 1991 prediction leans towards a home win, but with a healthy dose of caution. Here’s how the numbers stack up:

  1. Full-Time Result: Home win (Lok. Zagreb) is the best tip, with odds at 1.853 and a trust rating of 5.6/10. The bookmakers are also favoring the hosts at 1.853, with a draw at 3.55 and an away win at 4.4.
  2. Goals Market: Over 1.5 goals is a solid shout, with a confidence level of 4.4 and odds of 1.25. Both teams have shown vulnerability at the back, but Lokomotiva’s attacking intent should see at least two goals in the game.
  3. Score Prediction: The expected final score is 2-0 in favor of Lok. Zagreb, with a projected first-half lead of 1-0. This fits the tactical narrative: Lokomotiva to dominate early and control proceedings.
  4. Other Stats: Expect 9 corners (6 for Lok. Zagreb), 2 yellow cards apiece, and a respectable shot count—15 for the home team and 9 for Vukovar, with accuracy slightly favoring the hosts.

While Lok. Zagreb’s recent form might not inspire overwhelming confidence, their historical edge, home advantage, and superior squad depth make them worthy favorites. Vukovar’s underdog spirit shouldn’t be underestimated, but the gap in quality and experience at this level could prove decisive.

Final Thoughts & Betting Tips

For those looking to place a bet, our Lok. Zagreb vs Vukovar 1991 prediction is a home win, with a small stake advised given the moderate trust rating. Over 1.5 goals is the safer play for accumulator builders. As always, keep an eye on team news before kickoff, but expect Lokomotiva to use their possession and attacking intent to secure all three points.

  • Best Bet: Lok. Zagreb to win (odds 1.853)
  • Value Bet: Over 1.5 goals (odds 1.25)
  • Score Tip: 2-0 to Lokomotiva Zagreb
