Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

Istra has not been demoted directly, but will have to go through a playoff to see if they can stay in the elite. Because of this, the victory is not even the most important in this round, but to seek a better performance. They should seek to correct their mistakes and be more efficient in their actions. Thus, they will have a better chance of reaching their biggest goal later on.
