Šibenik form and stats

Šibenik are steadily winning 1. HNL games and points here at Stadion Šubićevac. 4 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 6 games.

Šibenik's previous game was a 1. HNL match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Hajduk Split (placed 4th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Antonio Jakoliš was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.64 out of 10. The defender Jakoliš hit one key pass and won 9 of 11 duels.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Gorica (1-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Šibenik have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost zero.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Slaven Koprivnica are coming to town in four days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (14 in 6 games), Šibenik's attacking play is working. 8 goals have been conceded.

Slaven Koprivnica form and stats

There's been little loot from Slaven Koprivnica's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the 1. HNL. Slaven Koprivnica only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. Slaven Koprivnica are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Dinamo Zagreb fixture.

The attacking players of Koprivnica have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 190 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 1. HNL home defeat versus Osijek with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Attacker Alen Grgić got a player rating of 7.1 in the game. "Man of the match" Grgić hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that match, the Koprivnica manager Z. Zekić faced defeat when travelling to Lokomotiva Zagreb and losing 0-3.

We have checked recent matches where Koprivnica have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were one victory, one draw and five defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Koprivnica now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Croatia Cup game at Šibenik is waiting in only four days.

Koprivnica are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. As opposed to that, Koprivnica have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
