NK Istra 1961 welcome Osijek on Saturday, May 22 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.
NK Istra 1961 come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Osijek travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours NK Istra 1961 here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Osijek, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Osijek won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives NK Istra 1961 a slight edge, but Osijek are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
