Champions League standings
Date: Wednesday, August 25, 2024
Starts at 18pm UK / 00pm CET
Venue: Stadion u Kranjcevicevoj ulici (Zagreb).

Lokomotiva reached the quarter-finals of the CL qualifiers in the same way as the visitors. The host has been busy with their new league season starting on schedule. Zagreb were runners-up in the HNL last season, with 65 points from 36 league games.

The previous meeting was at home, in the HNL of Croatia, against Rijeka, with a score of 1-0. They have only lost two of their last ten fixtures on the campaign calendar.

Rapid Wien will visit after a gap in the schedule, except for club friendlies. The 3-1 away defeat against Wolfsberger AC in the Austrian Bundesliga was their last appearance in a major competition on the calendar.

The visitor was runner-up in the Bundesliga and was 12 points behind the best placed in the league last season. They have had three defeats in their last five league matches on their form.

Prediction NK Lokomotiva vs Rapid Wien

Rapid Wien haven't played in any major competitions since last month and that will likely be reflected in their form going into their next game. Despite losing a few matches, NK Lokomotiva have been busy on their schedule in major competitions, including the Croatian HNL's new season matches.

Playing at home will be another advantage for the host, so we can bet on Lokomotiva Zagreb with a double opportunity in the match. The Austrian contingent is unlikely to go home without a fight and therefore the BTTS will come in handy for bettors on the clash.
