Varaždin are welcoming Šibenik for another important game after their 1-2 result against 5th-placed Slaven Koprivnica.
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.
Varaždin form and stats
Varaždin, who have the most conceded goals (15) in 1. HNL, have played 5 1. HNL games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Varaždin are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Three consecutive losses here at Stadion Anđelko Herjavec is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Varaždin's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Slaven Koprivnica (placed 5th). Prior to that, an away loss at Rijeka.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Varaždin have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won three, drawn zero and lost one.
Varaždin have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Varaždin with 11 goals conceded in these matches.
