Varazdin creates quite a few problems for the leading teams in Croatia this season. It is in fifth place and very difficult to beat. After four consecutive draws, they lost 0:1 as guests to Rijeka after conceding a goal in added time. They have not won their last three home games, and a total of 24 out of 29 matches played by the team so far in the championship have had under 2.5 goals.
Hajduk loses the top spotRemaining with one player less, Hajduk only managed to draw 1:1 at home against Lokomotiv Zagreb in the last round. As a result, they lost the top spot to Rijeka, but are only one point behind. They won 1:0 against Slaven in their last away game, but before that, they had not won in four consecutive away games and overall rarely win away this season – only four wins out of 14 away games.
Prediction: under 2.5 goals, drawVarazdin is difficult to beat, and earlier in the season they beat Hajduk 1:0 at home. It seems like another match with under 2.5 goals is on the cards – something like a trademark for Varazdin this season in the championship. It would not be a surprise if the hosts manage to get at least a point again.
