Slaven Koprivnica presents much better form in the last five matches, earning 2.6 points per match compared to Gorica's 1.4 points. The visitors are unbeaten in their last five meetings (4 wins, 1 draw), conceding just 2 goals, which evidences a solid defense. Gorica has a very poor home run with 50% losses and just 33% wins at home, making them susceptible to defeat. Although Slaven Koprivnica has only 17% away wins this entire season, their current form and table advantage (4th place vs 8th place) give them the edge. The high percentage of draws for the visitors away (42%) and offensive struggles for both teams (averaging 1.08 goals per match each) make a draw a realistic scenario as well.
