Home - Hajduk Split
- These two teams are separated by one point at the top of the HNL 2026/2027 with Hajduk on 19 points and Varaždinci on 18.
- Gonzalo Garcia has done a good job since taking over at Hajduk Split on 1st July 2025.
- The Bijeli have won four and drawn once of their five home matches in HNL 2026/2027, scoring 2.20 goals per game on average and conceding only 0.60 goals per-game.
Away - Varaždin
- Varazdin's away record in the same competition is two wins, one draw and one loss from four matches while they have conceded an average of 1.50 goals away from home.
- Varazdin picked up consecutive draws and wins on the run with their last result a 0-0 draw at home to Osijek on Thursday and a 1-0 win away to Lokomotiva earlier today.
Head-to-Head
- The two clubs have met five times previously in HNL 2026/2027, with the Bijeli winning one, Varaždinci winning two and two ending in a tie, including a 2-1 defeat for Hajduk two months ago.
- Varaždinci have failed to win in their last two away games at Hajduk but the home side may not be able to extend that record to three with their title rivals looking to keep it close.
Betting Insights
- The hosts are the big favourites to win this one at 1.7, with the draw at 3.34 and the away side at 5.36.
- We like the look of both teams to score at 1.68 as that allows both sides to play to their strengths, with the firepower of Hajduk to be matched up against the counter attacking threat of the visitors.
Prediction
- Garcia's Hajduk will look to dominate the ball, build from the back and create overloads, while Varazdin have built their success on the back of a disciplined mid-to-low block and looking to hit on the break.
- Hajduk should win this match, but we suspect that Varazdin will make it tough for the home side on Sunday.
- The most likely result is a narrow Hajduk win, but the points spread is in the way, so we will be taking both teams to score as our main play on this game.
