Hajduk Split
- Gonzalo Garcia’s HNK Hajduk Split have really found their stride recently, winning their last three consecutive games to move into 2nd place on the HNL 2025/2026 table with 56 points from 28 games.
- In their most recent match, the Split outfit played a high-tempo, possession-based game away to NK Istra 1961 Pula, winning 3-1 in a game which they dictated throughout with their aggressive pressing and forward passing.
- Under Garcia, the hosts have been a force to be reckoned with in the HNL 2025/2026 this year, as evidenced by their 9-2-3 record on home turf.
Gorica
- The visitors come into this game unbeaten in their last five league games, and they’ve put a run of three straight unbeaten games together after thumping HNK Rijeka 4-0 at home.
- Mario Carevic’s team have been very pragmatic, yet extremely effective in their approach to the game, with a compact block and fast counter-attacks being the formula that has guided them to a 7th place finish on 32 points from 28 matches.
- Jurica Prsir has scored five HNL 2025/2026 goals, but it’s Bruno Bogojevic who has really come through for Gorica of late, scoring three of their last ten league goals and giving them a spark in the front line.
- Gorica have won just three, drawn five and lost six of their 14 HNL 2025/2026 away games this season, and although their form has picked up recently, they have failed to win in their last two visits to Hajduk Split.
Head-to-Head
- The two teams have each won one of the last two meetings.
- Gorica have failed to win in their last two visits to Hajduk Split.
