3.25Tip and bets
Osijek is fighting for the third place, and the competition for the European Cups is off the charts, it is obvious that the hosts will not have any problems with motivation today. The white-blues are quite capable of setting themselves the maximum tasks - their opponents are one of the main outsiders of the championship, which is seriously inferior in class and is far from being in the best shape. In addition, Šibenik has serious personnel problems due to disqualifications, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Osijek . This bet is offered with odds of 2.19
Bet on total
Osijek will be focused on winning today and will most likely take risks and go forward with a large force in the first half in an attempt to snatch three points. It is unlikely that Šibenik, with its problems in defense, has a chance to play reliably against such an opponent, but the visitors have their own goals for the season, there is a real threat of ending up in the relegation zone already at the end of the upcoming round, they will most likely take risks and respond with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.09
Bet on corners
Osijek are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners on Osijek. This bet is offered for 1.65
