Slaven vs Gorica: Croatian Championship Match Prediction

Current form

Before the start of the season, Slaven was not considered a contender even for a place in the middle of the table; Mario Kovačević’s team could mainly count on maintaining their place in the elite. At the moment, the “pharmacists” are coping with their task and occupy sixth place in the table with 17 points, four points away from the relegation zone – such a handicap cannot guarantee anything yet. Having drawn 1:1 with Dinamo Zagreb in the last round, Slaven extended its unbeaten streak to seven matches.

Disqualifications and injuries

The hosts have no problems with the squad.

Interesting trends for betting

• Slaven have not lost in their last seven matches – four wins and three draws
• Slaven have scored in their last seven matches

Estimated line-up: Susak – Boshec, Bozic, Kovacic, Lucic – Krupulja, Jagusic, Chubelic, Liber, Grgic – Lepnica.

Current form

"Goritsa", like its opponent today, for objective reasons did not have the opportunity to set more ambitious goals than maintaining their place in the elite. For now, Mario Tsarevich team is balancing on the edge, but is staying out of the relegation zone, occupying the eighth line in the table. However, there is a risk of ending up in the last line already at the end of the upcoming round - the last "Lokomotiv" has only two points less.

Disqualifications and injuries

Halilovic, Pajaziti, Radosevic, Sanja are injured. Kolar is disqualified.

Interesting trends for betting

• Gorica has lost all eight away matches this season
• Gorica have not beaten Slaven in their last five away matches - three defeats and two draws

Tentative line-up: Banic - Les, Malocha, Gurlica - Krizmanic, Ndoki, Prsic, Mikanovic - Dzhu, Gashi, Majstorovic.
