HNK Gorica welcome NK Istra 1961 on Saturday, May 15 at 5:00 PM in a HNL fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
HNK Gorica come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). NK Istra 1961, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. HNK Gorica head into this on the back of a defeat, while NK Istra 1961 arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours HNK Gorica here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against NK Istra 1961, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in NK Istra 1961 won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives HNK Gorica a slight edge, but NK Istra 1961 are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
