The 1. HNL league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 3rd and 6th respectively.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Gorica and Osijek.

Gorica form and stats

Only two home games for Gorica so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Gorica's previous game was a 1. HNL match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Osijek. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Gorica drew at home versus Inter Zaprešić.

This is expected to be a close game, with Gorica perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Gorica as a small favourite), we find four games. Gorica has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Gorica at home. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Osijek form and stats

Osijek have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats were 8 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 18 fixtures. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Osijek are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Two away games in a row for Osijek, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-3 versus Gorica in the 1. HNL. A 0-1 defeat away at CSKA Sofia before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Osijek playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 1 Osijek win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

1 goal so far away for Osijek, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Gorica - Osijek 3-1 entered in the official records. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Gorica won 3 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Osijek has 1 win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 3 / 2
