DLWLDL

Rijeka will be hoping to bounce back here after the 1-0 Prva Liga loss in their previous game against Varaždin.

In that match, Rijeka managed 53% possession and 15 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Varazdin got 2 shots on goal with 1 on target. Luka Mamić (54') scored for Varaždin.

It’s been all too rare in recent games where Rijeka have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Rijeka have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 10 goals on the way.

Ahead of this clash, Rijeka haven’t won at home in the past 2 league matches.

Hajduk Split

WWWWDL

After tasting defeat last time out to NK Osijek in Prva Liga competition, Hajduk Split and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Hajduk Split managed 64% possession and 10 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Osijek had 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Vladan Bubanja (56') was the scorer for NK Osijek.

Throughout their 6 most recent matches, Gonzalo García's Hajduk Split have converted 14 times - earning them the goals per game average of 2.33.

Pre-game facts show that Hajduk Split:

• have left without a victory over Rijeka when they have played them away from home in the previous 6 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 5 away league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Hajduk Split

Hajduk Split manager Gonzalo García has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Ante Rebić (concussion) and Filip Krovinovic (Ankle injury) miss out here. Michele Sego will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Hajduk Split and Rijeka could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. That is why we are leaning toward a very close game with a 1-1 score when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
