It's still early in the 1. HNL season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Gorica - Šibenik preview!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Gorica form and stats

A good away victory last time out for Gorica, who won 2-1 against Slaven Koprivnica (placed 8th). In the preceding match a 5-1 victory visiting Varazdin.

The victory against Slaven Koprivnica came after Ognjen Mudrinski's winning goal. The Gorica manager V. Dambrauskas was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 59th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Ognjen Mudrinski scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.

Šibenik form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the 1. HNL ended in defeat. Last season Šibenik had these away match statistics: Played 9; won 5, drew 1 and lost 3. Recent form does not give Šibenik much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Gorica will be a tough nut to crack.

Home advantage was not enough for Šibenik in their previous game, as they lost their 1. HNL-match, hosting Varazdin, 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rijeka wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

It's early days yet, but Šibenik has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Gorica won three, Šibenik won one and six draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.
