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 4th and 2nd respectively.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Osijek form and stats

Seven points from three games is a great start for Osijek, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stadion Gradski vrt.

Osijek drew their last game, 1-1 away at Rijeka. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Dinamo Zagreb.

This is expected to be a close game, with Osijek perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Osijek as a small favourite), we find three games. Osijek has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.

Osijek have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadion Gradski vrt with 5 goals in 3 matches. Defensively Osijek have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Hajduk Split form and stats

Things could have gone better for Hajduk Split in their away games, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

The supporters enjoyed Hajduk Split's previous game versus Gorica, a 1. HNL 3-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Hajduk Split manager D. Burić faced defeat when travelling to Slaven Koprivnica and losing 1-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hajduk Split playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 0 Hajduk Split wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Hajduk Split has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips at the early stages of this season.
