HNK Sibenik vs HNK Hajduk Split Prediction: The Hosts' Are Definitely Worth A Goal In This Encounter

In order to shake off their erratic form, which has seen them go five games without a win, HNK Sibenik will be seeking to earn a positive result against Hajduk Split on their ninth matchday of the Croatian championship at the Stadion Šubićevac.

Form: DLDDD

The hosts' most recent game against Osijek came down to the wire and almost ended in defeat on the road, but they once again managed to salvage a point as the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Since they haven't won in their last five games, it goes without saying that their recent Croatian championship performances haven't been nearly there, if not convincing enough.

They have only managed to get four points in the last five games, drawn four, and lost one to Dinamo Zagreb, showing a gradually deteriorating performance as they seek a victory.

Sadly, this has caused them to fall from fourth to seventh in the rankings, where they are now on eight points and four points behind HNK Hajduk Split, who are currently in third position.

Form: WLWLW

In their most recent game against Slaven Belupo, the visitors dispelled any concerns about their slight deterioration in form by rising to the occasion and recording an emphatic victory.

They imposed complete dominance to win 5:1 at home, which helped them get back on track with their form. This time, they were more convincing because they took an offensive tack.

Their recent five games have resulted in three victories and two defeats, and while their form is slowly improving, their defensive line is still quite lacking.

Currently in third place with 12 points in the Croatian championship standings, they are two points away from securing second place. While they will need to defeat the hosts, it will be a difficult task for them to do so.

• In a match against HNK Hajduk Split, HNK Sibenik scores 0.8 goals on average, while HNK Hajduk Split scores 1.6 goals on average.
• In the last eight Croatian championship matches, HNK Hajduk Split has conceded a goal.

The hosts are not to be overlooked in this matchup because they have a history of being surprising and are undoubtedly one team capable of competing against strong teams in the Croatian championship.

Hajduk Split will make it difficult for NK Sibenik to win, even though they can extend their winning streak to two games this time.

If neither team scores, it will come as a complete shock. Because of this, betting on both teams to score seems more reasonable in this situation, and the second pick's high likelihood of success guarantees Hajduk Split's victory.
