Top against bottom at Poljud, where Hajduk are unbeaten in the league and Gorica have scored three goals in five away games.

A home win is the fair reading, but 1.29 asks more than the record justifies. Under 1.5 first-half goals at 1.48 and both teams to score: No at 1.70 are the two prices that hold up.

Context

A clear home-side mismatch is softened by four reported Hajduk injury absences and Gorica's habit of drawing: four of their 11 league games have finished level, including a 0-0 with Lokomotiva on 24 October.

Hajduk have taken 16 of 18 points at home in the league and conceded only three goals there; Gorica have one away win and three goals from five road games. The gap in those records is the clearest evidence for a home win, but it says nothing about how many goals the afternoon produces.

Fourteen shots and ten corners produced no goal, which fits a season of six goals in 11 competitive matches. Against a defence that has conceded three times in six home league games, another blank is the likely outcome, although the shot count shows Gorica are not purely passive.
- Gorica 0-0 Lokomotiva Zagreb, 24 Oct 2026: 14 shots, 4 on target, 10 corners
- Gorica overall 2026: 6 goals scored across 11 competitive matches
- Gorica away league record: 3 goals in 5 games
Istra scored twice after the break from 13 shots, the one recent result that runs against Hajduk's overall 0.8 goals conceded per game across 15 matches. The second half is where Hajduk have been the more open side, and a single goal either way changes the closing stages.
- Hajduk 2-2 Istra 1961, 26 Oct 2026: led 1-0 at half-time, conceded twice after the break; 15 shots, 6 on target
- Hajduk overall 2026: 0.8 goals conceded per game across 15 competitive matches
- Hajduk's only defeat in that span was 0-3 at Rijeka on 20 September 2026
