General match analysis
Rijeka have looked very strong at home: they have won all three of their home matches so far, averaging 3.00 goals scored with an xG of 2.70. The hosts produce as many as 22.33 shots and 10.67 shots on target per match, clearly more than Hajduk away from home, with 14.67 and 5.33 respectively. However, Hajduk are the league leaders and arrive on the back of five consecutive wins, during which they scored 12 goals and conceded only 2. Both teams’ defences limit opponents to chances of a similar quality, with Rijeka allowing an xG of 0.93 and Hajduk 0.89. Nevertheless, home advantage and the hosts’ significantly greater attacking output slightly favour Rijeka. The match should be closely contested, but Rijeka’s efficiency at home gives them a slightly better chance of securing the win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest argument for BTTS - No is not Rijeka’s defense: the hosts have kept a clean sheet in 75% of their matches, conceding just 0.50 goals per game this season. Hajduk do average 2.33 goals and have scored 2.40 goals per match over their last five appearances, but Rijeka allow opponents just 0.95 xG on average. The visitors also show good current organization without the ball, having conceded only 2 goals in their last five matches—0.40 per game—with opponents averaging just 0.90 xG against them. Rijeka possess high offensive potential, averaging 2.25 goals and 2.07 xG, so a home goal is a likely scenario; however, it appears more realistic that at least one side—Hajduk in particular—will fail to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Both teams have very strong offensive numbers: Rijeka average 2.25 goals, while Hajduk average 2.33 goals per match, with xG figures of 2.07 and 1.74 respectively. Neither team has failed to score in any league match, while over 1.5 goals have been scored in 75% of Rijeka’s matches and in all of Hajduk’s matches. Rijeka average 17 shots, including 7 on target, whereas Hajduk have scored 12 goals in their last 5 matches, averaging 2.4 per game. The hosts’ defensive strength, with clean sheets in 75% of their matches so far, slightly reduces the likelihood of a very high-scoring game, but the projected 2.70 goals clearly supports Over 1.5.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is Hajduk leading at the break and winning the match, as the visitors have won all of their last five games, taking a half-time lead in each of them. During this run, Hajduk averaged 2.4 goals scored and just 0.4 conceded, while Rijeka scored 1.8 goals and allowed 1.6. The visitors kept a clean sheet before half-time in their last five matches, whereas Rijeka were level at the break in 60% of their games over the same period and led in only 40%. Hajduk are also more effective after the interval, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 0.4 conceded in the second half, while Rijeka concede an average of 1.2 goals during that period. Rijeka’s home advantage and their seasonal average of 2.5 points per match reduce confidence in the selection, but the visitors’ current form clearly supports the 2/2 HT/FT outcome.
