Draw 47/20
Gorica 1/1
(18:55)
Inter Zaprešić, who lie at the bottom of the table, are desperate to stop the rot and avoid a seventh straight defeat. Looking at that form, Gorica will fancy their chances of victory. They did record a 2-0 win in this fixture last season. The away win is tipped.
Istra 1961 9/2
Draw 28/10
Hajduk Split 11/20
(21:05)
Hajduk Split will be strongly-fancied to claim maximum points over Istra 1961. The visitors are third in the Croatian top-flight, while the hosts find themselves eighth, in a relegation fight with Varaždin and Inter Zaprešić. Hajduk Split are unbeaten in their last 18 league meetings, recording 16 wins. Back the away win.
Friday 12 JuneDraw 3/1
Rijeka 5/10
(18:55)
Varaždin are in the danger zone and level on points with bottom side Inter Zaprešić. They’ll be desperate to find a way to end their five-game winless streak, but that’s going to be very difficult as they face an in-form Rijeka side who has beaten them in each of their last seven meetings. The away win is the way to go.
Lokomotiva 47/10
Draw 3/1
Dinamo Zagreb 5/10
(21:05)
Lokomotiva will be eager to test themselves against the Croatian champions on Friday. The hosts suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Osijek last time out, but before that loss, they recorded five wins in a row. They’ll now look to end Dinamo Zagreb’s five-match winning streak. I’m going for Both Teams to Score (Yes) at 8/10.
Slaven Koprivnica are seventh in the Croatian top-flight, while Osijek are in fifth place, a point behind fourth-placed Lokomotiva. The hosts have won just once in their last five matches in the league and that was against bottom-of-the-log Inter Zaprešić. The visitors come into this tie riding a two-match winning streak and they’ve won the last three meetings against Slaven Koprivnica. Back the away win at 19/20.
Hajduk Split Win 11/20
Rijeka Win 5/10
