Varaždin will be wanting a better result here following the 2-0 Prva Liga losing effort in their last game against Rijeka.

Varaždin haven’t exactly had impressive attacking statistics of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure stands at just 3 versus opposing sides during their last six fixtures. In those meetings, Varaždin have also seen the number of goals scored against them total 6. We will have to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

Going into this encounter, Varaždin are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.

After a losing effort in their last game against Hajduk Split in Prva Liga competition, Istra and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

The strike force from Istra have failed to get amongst the goals over their last 6 encounters, recording the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those fixtures, Verudeži have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 7.

A look at their previous results shows us that Istra 1961:

  • have not won against Varaždin when they've played them away from home in the last 9 league games. A really bad run.
  • have not won away from home in their last 5 league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at the statistics for their head to head duels dating back to 22/07/2022, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Varaždin winning 2 of those games, Istra 2 and 2 being draws after 90 minutes of play.

A combined sum of 11 goals were scored between them in these games, with 5 of them from Bumbari and 6 for Verudeži. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 1.83.

📰 Team News: Varaždin

The Varaždin manager Nikola Šafarić has zero fitness worries at all ahead of this match with a fully healthy squad available to choose from.

ℹ️ Team News: Istra

Owing to a fully healthy group available for selection, the Istra boss Paolo Tramezzani doesn’t have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this clash.

💭 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Istra 1961 may well find it hard to break down this Varaždin side who we reckon should manage to score & go ahead.

We’re therefore tipping a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Varaždin at the end of this game.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
