Preview
Rijeka and Varaždin meet at Stadion HNK Rijeka, in a match for the 8th round of the 1. HNL. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 6 matches they won 5 and tied 1. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 12‑06‑2020, and ended in a draw by (0‑0). Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Rijeka

The home team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 9 points won, after 3 wins and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Osijek, by (3‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Slaven Koprivnica, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 35 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the Cup, they got an away win against Dilj by (0‑6). In the last 10 home matches Rijeka has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Rijeka has been doing an average campaign and knows if it can show a little more regularity it will be able to grab a higher position in the leaderboard. This way, the team has to mainly take advantage of the home games, where it cannot lose points. It will undoubtedly have to respect its opponents, but it cannot fail to pressure and overcome anyone that faces them. Regarding the current duel, the team has all the conditions to win if it shows competence and quality on the field.


Confirmed Lineup: Ivan Nevistić, N. Galesic, Daniel Štefulj, Ivan Tomečak, João Escoval, Nino Galović, Stjepan Lončar, Franko Andrijašević, Adam Gnezda Čerin, Domagoj Pavičić, Sandro Kulenović.
Coach: S. Cosmi.

Analysis Varaždin

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Hajduk Split, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Dinamo Zagreb, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the Cup, they got a home win against Cibalia by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Varaždin has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 23 of the last 38 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

Varazdin has been fluctuating in the Croatian league and this is reflected in their position in the leaderboard. If they want to have a better campaign (and position), they will have to go after regularity, in both performance and results. The current match will not be an easy one, but it will not be impossible to score. If they can show balance between sectors and do not give space, they will have a good opportunity to surprise the local team.


Confirmed Lineup: Oliver Zelenika, Itsuki Urata, Matej Senić, Marko Stolnik, Kerim Memija, Stefan Milic, Neven Đurasek, Jorge Obregón, Domagoj Drožđek, Mohammad Mehdikhani, Leon Benko.
Coach: N. Šafarić.
