Round two of the 3. HNL - South campaign and the participants have had a few days to digest the first fixture. Here's the ultimate Split - HNK Zadar preview:
Both squads have had adequate rest since their last work day in an official game. Let's agree to expect an animated match!
Split form and stats
The season before, Split's league statistics were 15 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses, resulting in 6th spot in the 3. HNL - South. From these 34 matches they scored 52 goals and let in 40. Appearing as the host team in the previous season Split delivered 9-4-4 (win-draw-lost) with 26 goals and 13 conceded.
The followers are hoping that Split will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against GOSK Kastel Gomilica (placed 5th). The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten through five league rounds.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Primorac Biograd the opponent.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Split as they are travelling to their away game against Neretva Metković in the 3. HNL - South. That match is four days after this one.
HNK Zadar form and stats
Let's have a look at how HNK Zadar performed last season in the 3. HNL - South: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 16 victories, 11 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 69 and conceded 28 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 9 and lost 5 with 20/22 goals scored/conceded.
Zadar are travelling after their nice 5-1 home win in the match against Neretva Metković (placed 16th). As mentioned above, HNK Zadar was the only team on the pitch versus Neretva Metković in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Junak.A new game in only four days for HNK Zadar, the 3. HNL - South home match versus Hrvatski vitez. Busy days.
Head 2 Head
