Rijeka

WLWWWW 📈

Rijeka are hoping to win again after their last result, a 0-3 Prva Liga victory over Rudeš.

In that match, Rijeka managed 62% possession and 19 shots at goal with 7 on target. For Rijeka, the scorers were Marco Pašalić (9'), Mirko Marić (53') and Lindon Selahi (56'). On the other side, Rudes got 5 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

A common feature of recent Rijeka games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

Taking their prior six matches before this one, in as many as 6 of them a wager on both teams scoring would have been a loser.

• have not been beaten in the league by Hajduk Split in their previous 2 matches.
• are undefeated in their last 5 league matches at home.

Hajduk Split

WDWWLL

After a loss in their previous game against Dinamo Zagreb in Prva Liga competition, Hajduk Split will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Hajduk Split managed 60% possession and 14 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. On the other side, Dinamo Zagreb had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target. Bruno Petković (38') was the scorer for Dinamo Zagreb.

A succession of dependable performances by the Hajduk Split defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their previous 6 outings in total. In that period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 8. We shall soon find out if that trend can be sustained into this next match.

Taking a look at their past results, Hajduk Split:

• haven't won against Rijeka when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
• have not been beaten in their last 9 away league matches. Impressive, to say the least.
