Dynamo and Lokomotive will face off on Saturday at 18:45 at Maksimir in the final match of the SuperSport HNL season. Dynamo will celebrate their double title after the final whistle, while Lokomotive can move up from sixth to fifth place.

Nikica Jelavić, Lokomotive’s coach, announced the match through the club’s official website. "First and foremost, we are very excited about this match. We have nothing to lose, as Dynamo will be celebrating their title, but we expect them to be somewhat distracted. We are prepared and looking forward to the encounter. I hope we can show our best and enjoy the game," Jelavić stated.

"We Aim to Surprise"

The game will take place at Maksimir, where both clubs have been home this season due to the stadium construction in Kranjčevićeva. "It will be a great atmosphere for us since we love playing in front of a full stadium. I hope this will be an added motivation for us. Regardless of which players they put in the lineup, they are still Dynamo, with a roster of 20 quality players. It will be tough and we need to be at our best. I hope our players will recognize this and play a good match," Jelavić added.

"We aim to surprise them on Saturday, and we have a plan to stick to. Of course, this depends on Dynamo and how they play, as when they are at their best, their quality and level are higher. But we hope to play a good match, be at our best, and achieve a positive result."

Lokomotive's Season Goals

Lokomotive aims to finish in fifth place, a position they have held for several rounds, which would mean a lot to them. They have had ups and downs during the season, being at the top and then fighting for survival. They have performed well in the second half of the season and have mostly been in the middle and upper parts of the table. Finishing the season in the upper part of the table would be a nice accomplishment, Jelavić concluded.
