Mladost Ždralovi sit in the middle of a mixed run. Two wins in their last four matches - victories over Varteks Varaždin and Inter Zapresic - suggest they can compete, but inconsistency is the problem. A loss to HNK Cibalia and a draw at home to Dubrava Zagreb show they're not yet reliable enough to string results together.
The wins came with conviction. Ždralovi beat Varteks 2-0 away and put two past Inter Zapresic at home, indicating they can be dangerous going forward. But they couldn't find a way past Dubrava Zagreb at home, finishing 1-1, and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Cibalia - a result that suggests defensive vulnerability or a failure to take chances when it matters.
Two wins from four is a 50 per cent return. That's not enough to build momentum or climb a table. Ždralovi need to tighten up in defence and find consistency across 90 minutes if they're to move beyond this mid-table holding pattern. The quality is there - the scorelines in victory prove that - but they're not yet executing it often enough.
