Match description

The favorites are the visitors - Hajduk Split - based on superior metrics: 45 goals scored this season versus Istra’s 33 and higher average xG 1.80 versus 1.40. Hajduk generates significantly more chances and shots on target: on average 15.08 shots and 5.00 on target per away match versus the hosts’ 11.23 shots and 3.62 on target, with similar conversion rates of 11% vs 10%. Defensively the visitors also perform better - they concede 0.92 goals per away match and keep a clean sheet in 46% of away games, while Istra concedes 1.23 goals at home and has only 15% clean sheets. In the last 5 matches Hajduk scored 12 goals versus Istra’s 4, and the points per game in that period are 1.4 for Hajduk and 1.2 for Istra, indicating a scoring advantage for the visitors. Considering the xG advantage (1.80 vs 1.40), shot volume and superior defense, I assess the probability of a Hajduk win at 62%, a draw at 20% and a home win at 18%.
