Head-to-Head

  • Istra took three points in the away match, a 5-1 victory.

Home - NK Istra 1961 Pula

  • NK Istra 1961 Pula have had a poor run of form in the lead up to this fixture, losing four and drawing one of their last five matches.
  • At home in HNL 2025/2026, Istra have won four, drawn four and lost three of their 11 games, scoring 1.09 and conceding 1.27 per-game on average.
  • Oriol Riera has made his side a fast, forward-thinking side with a lot of aggression at the start of play as they press to win the ball back as quickly as possible and look to overload the wide areas at high tempo.

Away - NK Osijek

  • NK Osijek are in mixed form themselves, winning two and losing three of their last five.
  • Osijek are yet to make much of an impact away from home in HNL 2025/2026, winning just once, drawing three and losing seven of their 11 away matches, conceding an average of 1.82 goals per-game.
  • This matchup is a clash of styles with Istra being a high-tempo side with a focus on transition play while Osijek are more methodical, patient and like to build from the back before trying to progress the ball in a vertical, structured fashion.

    • Smail Prevljak - 10 league goals in 21 appearances for Istra.
    • Nail Omerovic - 6 goals in 23 HNL appearances for Osijek.
