Gorica Preview – Can Gorica make it three on the trot?
Early back-to-back wins in this new Croatian 1 HNL season has lifted Gorica joint-top of the domestic top flight following victories over Varazdin and Slaven Koprivnica in 5-1 and 2-1 wins on the road respectively, and the hosts now return to the more familiar surroundings of their ŠRC Velika Gorica where they’ll be seeking to record a third win on the trot against newcomers, Sibenik.
Although Gorica finished last season in a mid-table position of 6th place, the hosts suffered just one defeat in their final seven matches overall and they’ve started out of the blocks in explosive fashion in this season’s campaign, sitting level on six points apiece with Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split.
Gorica owed their mid-table finish to a solid record at home which ended up on 7-8-3 22/14 which included just two defeats from their last 12 matches and also included nine clean sheets as well, so they’ll be confident that they can add to their points tally here.
Sibenik Preview – Can Sibenik find any joy on the road?
Sibenik romped to the 2 HNL title at the end of last season by an eight-point margin which secured automatic promotion for the visitors but it’s been an unhappy return to the Croatian top flight for Sibenik after an eight-year absence.
Back-to-back defeats against Rijeka 2-1 away from home and a 1-0 loss at home to Varazdin has rather dampened the mood in the Sibenik camp after the euphoria of last season’s promotion campaign, while the bigger picture of results away from home doesn’t bode well for Sibenik either.
The visitors have collected just the one win out of their last 20 matches on their travels in the 1 HNL, while they also failed to score in nine of these 20 matches as well, so they look set to have their work cut out again on Friday night at Gorica.
