NK Osijek will surely do their best to earn points this evening.
It is up to NK Osijek now to present their gift to Kohorta this evening at 7pm.
No single heart on the pitch will stay untouched with such raving fans on the tribunes cheering, so it’s natural that Osijek will give it their all to make Kohorta proud and happy. It is their obligation to give 100% on the field and no one is doubting that results will be delivered. Besides, Osijek is quite safe in terms of ladder placement, so that some good football is expected tonight in Gradski Vrt.
The Locos to be Lax as Well
Lokomitiva is in a similar position in the end of the season because they can’t overtake Osijek’s placement on the ladder (4th ). The placement in the very middle of the championship pack results in a lax and relaxed atmosphere for Lokomotiva on the pitch, which is favorable for players such as Majer, Ivanušec and Kastrati. In March, Osijek and Lokomotiva played in Kranjčević Street when Osijek was in a weakened state, despite not having lost. The points were even (1-1), however, no one in Osijek’s ranks was satisfied because they had arrived in Zagreb to win.
Now is the time for scoring it big in the second-to-last home game this season that will surely attract a surplus of spectators to the tribunes.
Putting the Pressure on the Opponents
Irrespective of the penalized and injured players’ not being present on the field, the coaches had enough manpower to assemble a great team for the coming match. The most important thing is to put the pressure on the opponents as early as possible.
With thunderous cheers on the tribunes, the home team will have the morale to keep the pressure on the enemy backline and to find the score. It has been announced that Marko Pervan will play for the first time, whose showings in Cibalia made the fans eager to see him perform. We wish him all the best for his debut in Osijek!
