Hajduk Split vs Gorica Prediction: Hajduk are getting in form

On Saturday, Hajduk will play a match of the seventh round of the SuperSport HNL against Gorica in Poljud (20:00). The Whites were undefeated in the first six games, with four wins and two draws, and the biggest victory came in the last round, in Maksimir against Dinamo (0:1). Gorica aren’t doing so well, they have only a win in 6 matches, and this will be extremely difficult away match for them.

In the past week, Mr. Gennaro Gattuso's team won against Dinamo in the biggest derby of Croatian football played at Maksimir. In the match that was played on Friday, the Whites celebrated with a 1:0 with a goal by Marko Livaja. After that, on Tuesday, Hajduk visited Bilogora in Grubisno Polje, where they won a place in the round of 16 of the SuperSport Croatian Football Cup with a convincing 4:0. Goals in that match were scored by Benrahou, Sarlija, Antunovic and Melnjak. Gattuso is impressed with how this team is growing, and he said that they are taking match by match and that the win over Dinamo is only 3 points in the table.

In the last championship round, Gorica were defeated by Rijeka at home with a minimum score of 1:0. Currently, the team from Velika Gorica holds the seventh position in the championship table with five points won in six matches played. They played 2 away matches so far against Istra 1961 and Dinamo and lost both of them. They lost in the last 6 matches they played against Hajduk in this stadium, and currently, they don’t look like a team that can take points from Poljud.

Hajduk are certainly the favorite in this match but Coach Gattuso certainly cannot count on Rokas Pukstas, who has three yellow cards and is banned for this match. However, after the derby against Dinamo, and a difficult away win in the Cup, Hajduk finally can play a match at home without too much pressure on them. I expect a confident home win, and a clean sheet for Hajduk.
