Lokomotiva take one the visitors Genk in the final round of Europe League qualification. The game takes place at Kranjceviceva Stadium in Zagreb on Thursday, August 18th.
Lokomotiva have the best eurocups campaign in their history. This quite young team (average age is only 22) has knocked out teams like UE Santa Coloma, 3-1, 4-1, Rovaniemi, 1-1, 3-0 and Vorskla Poltava, 0-0, 3-2. The team’s priority is to advance for the group stage and they didn’t play well in domestic league for that reason, recording two wins, two draws and one defeat in five league matches.

Genk have passed two rounds of qualification for the group stage already, knocking out Buducnost, 2-0, 1-2 and Cork City, 1-0, 2-1. These opponents are of about the same level with today’s hosts. Three rounds in domestic league gained the team only four points. The team doesn’t show positive results in away matches as Belgian club took only three wins in 14 away games in 2016, drawing other three and losing eight clashes on the road.
Lokomotiva is young side and they show their best exactly in home matches while Genk struggle in games on the road this year. Of course, Belgians are the favorites of the matchup but Croatian side has all chances to avoid defeat at own turf.
Prediction for the match: Lokomotiva to win with +0.5 Asian handicap.
