Istra 1961 vs NK Lokomotiva Zagreb: the head-to-head
Istra 1961 and NK Lokomotiva Zagreb’s 17 encounters since 2022 have been a study in balance, with more than eight-tenths of the games producing two or more goals. The tally reads 3 wins for Istra 1961, 8 for Lokomotiva, and 6 draws, a record that underscores how hard it is to separate the two sides. The average goals per match is 2.59, and just over half of the meetings (53%) saw three or more goals, while the same proportion witnessed both clubs scoring. In total, Istra 1961 has netted 15 goals against Lokomotiva’s 29, a spread that reflects the latter’s stronger attack. At Istra’s home ground, the team has won once, drawn four times and lost four; away, Istra has secured two victories, drawn twice and lost four. The most recent clash on 1 August 2026 ended 2-3 in favour of Lokomotiva, and the next fixture is scheduled for 17 October 2026.
