NK Lokomotiva Zagreb, known for their aggressive attacking style, may push forward to capitalize on any defensive lapses by Istra.

Under 2.5 Goals Prediction
The under 2.5 goals line at 65.90 suggests a more cautious approach from both teams or a potential for strong defensive performances. While both teams have offensive capabilities, they also possess solid defensive structures that could limit the number of goals scored.

Therefore, betting on under 2.5 goals could be a strategic choice if either team focuses on maintaining a clean sheet or if the match ends in a low-scoring draw.
