Hajduk Split vainqueur
Hajduk Split vs Osijek in 23rd round of Croatian top flight, the so called HNL league.
The venue: Poljud stadium in Split, Croatia
Hajduk has failed to win the previous round away at Pula against Istra (1:1). That was the third consecutive time in this season they have played 1:1 against Istra.
I was wrong for trusting Hajduk on away match but I'm willing to back them now again in this upcoming round at home vs Osijek. After all, as mentioned many times Hajduk is completely different animal when playing on their crowded Poljud stadium. Here Hajduk holds 8-3-0 record which is the best home record in HNL.
I expect Hajduk to continue its great home run and with expected three pts to get back on the top of the league standings. Have in mind the current leader, Rijeka will meet the third placed Dinamo Zagreb in this round so it's excellent opportunity for Hajduk to profit from the draw or Dinamo win in the mentioned match.
Osijek overall in recent years was that 4th best team in Croatia. But particularly in this season there is big gap between them and three title contenders. Also, Osijek is entering this round with two consecutive losses. Not to talk Hajduk was doing quite well in this H2H over the past few seasons. Hajduk is 6-2-2 in past ten mutual meetings overall.
1X2 (Ordinary Time): Hajduk Split
