Match Preview
Hajduk Split hosts Istra 1961 at Stadion Poljud on Sunday evening, looking to build on their recent strong form, having won four of their last five matches. The home side's attacking prowess has been evident, and they will aim to exploit Istra's defensive vulnerabilities, particularly after Istra's mixed results, which include three draws in their last five outings. Historically, matches between these two have been closely contested, with Hajduk winning only twice in their last ten encounters, highlighting that Istra can be a tricky opponent.
One key angle to consider is Hajduk's home advantage. They have a solid track record at Poljud, and with the odds favouring them at 1.83, they are expected to dominate possession and create more scoring opportunities. The likelihood of both teams finding the net is high, given that six of their last ten meetings have seen both teams score. Therefore, betting on both teams to score (BTTS) at odds of 2 could be a prudent choice, especially with Hajduk's attacking flair and Istra's tendency to concede.
