↔️ Head to head
Looking over past results between these clubs going back to 07/10/2023 tells us that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Hajduk Split. They’ve not managed to come away with any victories at all whereas Rijeka have been too good for them, winning in 67% of those ties.
A combined sum of 12 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 3 of them from Bili and 9 being from Riječki bijeli. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.
The previous league meeting between these sides was Prva Liga match day 26 on 16/03/2025 and the score finished Rijeka 3-0 Hajduk Split.
That day, Rijeka managed 43% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. The goals were scored by Toni Fruk (25', 88') and Niko Janković (35').
On the other side, Hajduk Split got 10 shots at goal with 1 of them on target.

🔮 Prediction
We are of the inclination to think that Rijeka and Hajduk Split are both capable of scoring here.
It’s looking like it could well end up as a draw. Our tip is therefore for a hard-fought 1-1 scoreline at the end of the 90 minutes.
