Zira open the new season with a tough home game against Hajduk, with the ambition to continue their strong unbeaten streak in official matches - six wins and one draw in their last seven matches, although these were games from the end of last season. Despite this positive statistic, their last friendly match brought an unpleasant 0:4 defeat against Qarabag.
Hajduk with more serious experience and stable defenseThe guests from Croatia enter the game with confidence, backed by good results. Hajduk rely on an organized defense that rarely concedes goals, as evidenced by the four clean sheets in their last six matches. The class and experience of the team are expected to give them a slight advantage, but they will probably approach carefully in the first away game.
Prediction: Under 3.5 goalsI expect a clash with few chances in front of both goals. Zira are experiencing serious difficulties in attack - they have not scored in five of their last six matches, while Hajduk's defense is solid enough to limit the risks. Balance and a cautious approach will be key, so the prediction for under 3.5 goals seems like the most logical choice for this match.
