Croatian Prva HNL

Hajduk - Slaven

I really don't know why was this march removed by some bookies. Hajduk needs one point to secure their play-off spot so maybe the bookies thought Hajduk will arrange a draw with Slaven? Nonsense! There's nothing to calculate. Coach Bonacic already said:'We'll go for the win. We must seek victory so that in worst case we take one point.'

Both clubs improved their performances lately. Hajduk after unlucky defeat against Rijeka showed improvements defeating Inter(home, 3:2) and Varteks(away, 1:0). While their home win was some kind of lucky, against Varteks they looked pretty good, solid in defence, tough in midfield, and making chances in attack. I'd say they finally look like a team. Their only problem is lack of fitness, their gameplay simply collapses in last 20 minutes. Inter scored 2 goals in last 15 minutes and almost a third, and Varteks had big pressure, but goalkeeper Pletikosa was great against them.
Similar thing with Slaven. After a defeat against Inter(away, 1:2) they won their last two matches at home. First against Varteks(home, 4:3, crazy match) and then Osijek(home, 3:1). Their new coach, Scoria, made positive impact on them, so if they continue in this way, they'll surely get out of the relegation zone.

Hajduk will miss attacker Blatnjak(goalscorer against Varteks), while Slaven will miss midfielder Poldrugac, and defender Kurilic, both importatnt and standard players.

Slaven is coming to Split without imperative, but with a motive. Although they need points, besides this match they still have 30 points to collect in the play-out league. I don't see them taking anything in Split. Home win, high stakes.

1 8/10

Note: Match was removed by most of the bookies. I think, Bet365, SportingBet and few other still offer this match.
