Hajduk Split host NK Istra 1961 on Saturday, Jan 30 at 5:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 7 points in the HNL, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.
Hajduk Split come into this fixture in red-hot form (5W from last 5). NK Istra 1961 travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Hajduk Split and NK Istra 1961 have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–5D–2W). Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Hajduk Split a slight edge, but NK Istra 1961 are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
