Istra 1961 Preview – Can Istra put up a fight?
Having lost three of their last four matches overall in the Croatian top flight, Thursday’s hosts, Istra 1961 look to have their work cut out when they play host to Hajduk Split, along with sitting third from bottom in the 1.HNL with just a slender two point margin above the relegation zone.
Istra have claimed just the one win out of their last six matches overall which came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against Osijek but four defeats from these last six matches could spell trouble for Istra who have endured losses against Lokomotiva Zagreb, HNK Gorica, Dinamo Zagreb and Rijeka.
However, there’s a glimmer of hope for Istra as they hold home advantage where the hosts have lost just one of their last four matches, while losing by 2+ goals in just three of their 13 home matches, so Istra could at least keep things close here.
Hajduk Split Preview – Can Hajduk Split jump into top two?
3rd placed Hajduk Split bounced back from recent back-to-back defeats against Dinamo Zagreb and Rijeka on the weekend when they secured an all-important three points with a 2-1 home win against Inter Zapresic which will give the visitors a lift ahead of this trip to lowly Istra 1961.
There’s no disputing that Hajduk’s success this season has mostly stemmed from their impressive form on home turf at their Stadion Poljud where they possess a formidable record of 12-0-2 30/11, but results away from home have been far from convincing.
An average looking away record of 2-6-5 13/13 includes winning just one of their last 12 matches on their travels, so Hajduk look far from a guaranteed three-point haul here. In addition, Hajduk have won by a 2+ goal margin in just 2 of their 13 away matches to date.
