Lost 0–1 at home to Gorica · Sep 19
That's how they've played so far. Where the model has Istra 1961 finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.
What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
They run at people
3rd in the division for completed dribbles. A side that goes past defenders rather than around them.
69
dribbles
Defence
They win the ball back
2nd in the division for tackles. A side doing that much defending is either pressing well or living without the ball.
137
tackles
Defence
Cutting things out early
1st for interceptions without living on their clearances. That is defending before the danger, not during it.
103
interceptions
Overall
Losing the tight ones
A positive goal difference of +1 and only 9 points from 8. The margins have not gone their way.
+1
