Rudes vs Hajduk Split Prediction: Hajduk against the weakest team in the league

Three days ago, Hajduk was relegated from the Conference League by the Greek team PAOK. The players will have to focus on the championship challenges, and after great start of the league and 3 wins in 2 matches Hajduk will travel to Zagreb to face the weakest team in the league so far, Rudes. The hosts have 4 defeats in 4 matches and this match against very impressive Hajduk comes in a very bad period for them, but it’s also a question how Hajduk’s players will react after relegation from Europe.

Form: LLLLL

Rudes are a young and dynamic team, which are last in the table, but I think they deserved much more in these matches because they showed that they play very good offensive football. With young players, with speed and technique. They have interesting players such as Latkovic, Ljubanovic, and Lazarov who are very good on the field. They played three away games, in Rijeka, Koprivnica, and Varazdin. They only had one positive result against Osijek, they led 3-0 but in the end, they lost a little due to some mistakes 4-3. Their main problem is lack of experience, and I think it will be also a very big problem in this match against strong Hajduk.

Hajduk have played 3 matches so far in the league and have 3 wins. Just three days ago, Hajduk dropped out of the battle for the Conference League. PAOK was better and won 3:0 at home in Thessaloniki, while the first match at Poljud ended goallessly. The "Whites" are now fully focused on the domestic championship, and Zagreb’s weakest team is waiting for them on Sunday. Due to the suspension, the team against Rudes will not be led by Ivan Leko, but by Adnan Custovic. In the league Hajduk are playing very well, the only thing they want to improve is scoring goals, and in this match, they will certainly try to score as more as they can.

A duel between totally different types of teams, the hosts young and inexperienced and the visitors one of the best teams in the league. The favorite in this match is Hajduk, there is no doubt about it, the only questionable thing is how will Rudes react and oppose them. Hajduk’s players may be a little tired because of the match in Europe, but this season their main goal is a domestic league and they will want to continue their good run.
