Hajduk Split
- Hajduk Split have won 4 of their last 5 matches (D1), drawing 2-2 away at Slaven in their last.
- 2nd-placed HNK Hajduk Split have been in superior form to 9th-placed NK Osijek in HNL 2025/2026 this season, and there is no reason to think that won’t continue when the teams meet on Tuesday.
- Hajduk have 60 points from 30 games, while Osijek have managed just 28 from 29.
- The hosts have won their last two home games and scored 24 goals in 15 home matches, so should have enough to see off Osijek, whose style of play is almost a polar opposite to Hajduk.
Osijek
- Osijek are a vertical team that like to get the ball forward in numbers and press hard when out of possession.
- They like to counter-attack and are extremely dangerous on the break, but Osijek have not done well away from home this HNL campaign, winning just 3 of 15 and losing 8.
- Tomislav Radotic took over in February 2026 and has brought a pragmatic approach that is to their detriment when the opposition play as patiently and with as much possession as Hajduk Split.
- Osijek’s defence has been vulnerable on the road this term, conceding 27 goals in 15 away games, and Marko Livaja is in great scoring form, netting 5 of Hajduk’s last 12 goals in their most recent 5 matches.
Head-to-Head
His team have done better on the road in recent matches, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 1 in their last 4, but they failed to win on either of their previous 2 trips to Hajduk Split.
Key Players
- Michele Sego's 11 goals in 27 HNL appearances this campaign make him Hajduk’s leading marksman, although Nail Omerovic is Osijek’s main threat with 8 in 28 games, scoring 2 of their last 3.
- He can strike at any time for the 2nd-placed team and looks a decent choice in the anytime goalscorer category.
Prediction
Hajduk have also won the last 3 matches between the pair, including a 2-0 win two months ago, and look good value at 1.56 to pick up another victory.
