There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the 1. HNL table so far. Here's the Hajduk Split - Rijeka latest:
- Hajduk Split have the most matches under the total-line (19) in 1. HNL
- Rijeka is in the best form (5-1-0)
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Rijeka are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Hajduk Split form and stats
The story so far in the 1. HNL for Hajduk Split at their home stadium (Stadion Poljud) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.
Hajduk lost their last game at Dinamo Zagreb (placed 1st) after a 0-2 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Slaven Koprivnica that finished 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Hajduk perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hajduk Split as a small favourite), we find four games. Hajduk Split has won zero of these, drawn zero and lost four.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Dinamo Zagreb are coming to town in four days.
The Hajduk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. Hajduk's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Rijeka form and stats

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Istra 1961.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rijeka playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were three Rijeka wins, one draw and two defeats.
