Dugo SeloDrawBjelovar
As the Second NL heats up, Dugo Selo will host league leaders Bjelovar on October 10, 2026.

Dugo Selo is vying for contention towards the top while Bjelovar aims to maintain their winning momentum.
Team form
Dugo Selo
Dugo Selo approaches this match with three consecutive victories, trying to translate recent form into a strong performance at home. Their offensive output has been commendable, particularly with a 4-0 victory against Zagora, and they average 1.8 goals per match over the past five games. However, defensively they've shown vulnerabilities, conceding an average of 1.0 goal during this period. The challenge will lie in tightening that defense while looking to maintain their attacking thrust against the formidable Bjelovar.
Bjelovar
Bjelovar boasts stellar form, sitting atop the table with 4 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 loss from seven matches. Their attacking display has been crisp, highlighted by a 4-0 triumph over Grobničan Čavle and maintaining an average of 2.4 goals scored per game. Yet, defenses can falter—Bjelovar has also conceded 1.2 goals per match, revealing areas that could be exploited by a well-organized Dugo Selo offense. Bjelovar will work to translate their recent road success into a strong showing away from home.
Head-to-head
Historically, the head-to-head matchups lean in favor of Bjelovar, having taken victories in three of their last five encounters against Dugo Selo. It’s worth noting Dugo Selo claimed a pivotal 2-0 victory last season, but Bjelovar also secured a resounding statement with a 5-2 win in an earlier clash. Recent results certainly favor the away side and create a psychological edge, even as Dugo Selo is hungry to now claim local bragging rights on their ground.
Key factors
Key matchups will involve Dugo Selo's ability to break down a strong Bjelovar defense and the away side needing tight, organized defending against Dugo Selo's free-flowing attacks. The midfield battle will be critical, as both teams will look to control possession. Dugo Selo will be tasked with limiting Bjelovar's transition play to reduce their goal-scoring chances, while Bjelovar must find ways to capitalize on counter-attacks while being mindful of a potentially concerted effort by the home team to heavily press.
Prediction
Given both teams' current forms and head-to-head history, Bjelovar arrives as a competitive adversary albeit with vulnerabilities that may allow Dugo Selo to exploit. Both teams are strong in attack but have shown susceptibility in defensive setups. The statistical model suggests a narrow victory for Dugo Selo due in part to home advantage. This seems plausible considering their recent strong output at home. Expect an entertaining clash likely yielding multiple chances and, perhaps, plenty of goals.
In light of all factors, Dugo Selo has a fine chance to secure a home victory and narrow the gap at the top of the league standings against Bjelovar.
