Slaven Belupo
- Slaven have won seven, drawn two and lost only three of their 12 HNL 2025/2026 home matches.
- Slaven have won two, drawn two and lost just one of their last five matches in all competitions, while Osijek have won twice, drawn once and lost twice in their last five.
- Slaven manager Mario Gregurina has done an excellent job at Koprivnica so far with his 4-2-3-1 set up, which has seen the team play in a very compact and patient manner.
Osijek
- Osijek have won just two and lost seven of their 12 away matches in HNL 2025/2026.
- Osijek boss Tomislav Radotić has made a different impact on the club since taking over in late February, 2026.
- He has brought an energy and pressing mentality to the team that has his forward line more aggressive and looking for quick transition play.
Head-to-Head
Slaven have won two of the last three home H2Hs and are unbeaten in two at home across all competitions (W1, D1 - one win via PK shootout in the Croatia Cup) .
Key Players
Adriano Jagusic is Slaven’s top scorer with seven goals in 20 HNL appearances and should provide the home crowd with a reliable goal threat, but Osijek have Nail Omerovic, who has seven goals in 25 league appearances , to counter that threat.
Betting Insights
- Osijek have been tough to beat at home, but not so much on the road where they average just 1.00 goals per game and have only scored 12 in total in HNL 2025/2026.
- Slaven average 1.67 goals per home game, but both sides have enough quality in attack to find the net, so both teams to score - Yes is priced accordingly at 1.7.
- The odds of 2.18 for a Slaven Belupo win look fair to us, although we’re still expecting a close game because of Osijek’s pressing mentality and their ability to grind out results on the road as shown by their 1-0 win at NK Istra 1961 last time out.
Prediction
- Back the home side to nick the win.
- The hosts come into the game with greater momentum and a more stable squad and should edge out the visitors in what is likely to be a tight matchup.
