Head-to-Head
- NK Varazdin are the slight favorites at 2.18 to beat Gorica on Monday, with Bikovi listed at 3.14 and the draw at 3.38.
- The visitors have been better than Gorica so far in HNL 2026/2027, but the hosts are desperate for the points so this might be tighter than the oddsmakers think.
- In their most recent clash in HNL 2025/2026, which finished 1-1 at Varazdin's home, Gorica failed to win either of their previous 2 meetings with the hosts, so the recent record favours the visitors here very slightly.
- That result leaves Gorica without a win in their last 2 home games against Varazdin, but they have had a difficult run of games, losing 2-0 away at Slaven and then drawing 0-0 at home with Rijeka before losing 1-0 away to Dinamo Zagreb.
Gorica
- Bruno Bogojevic is their main outlet going forward and with 2 goals in 6 HNL 2026/2027 games is their top scorer.
- Luka Vrzic provides the creativity for the team with 1 assist in 6 HNL 2026/2027 matches.
Varazdin
- Their 4-2-3-1 formation is quicker and more direct than Gorica's and their higher press is designed to win the ball higher up the pitch.
- Ivan Canjuga is their danger man with 3 goals in 6 HNL 2026/2027 appearances, making him their sharpest blade in attack, netting 3 of their 9 goals over the last 5 games.
- His pace and movement should be a problem for Gorica, whose back three and the 4-2-3-1 shape is designed to keep them compact and disciplined, especially when deep in a low block.
