Rijeka Slaven Koprivnica betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 6^th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 5 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Dinamo Zagreb, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Gorica, by (2‑1). In the last 8 away league matches Slaven has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 24 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 17 matches for the 1. HNL, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 12 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

The team, led by Mario Kovacevic, enters this round motivated after a 2-1 victory over Goriča, with goals from Alen Grgic and Adriano Jagusic. The away team opts for a traditional 4-3-3 formation, with the attacking trio of Alen Grgic, Adriano Jagusic, and Igor Lepinjica. Playing away from home, it is expected that Slaven will adopt a more cautious approach, aiming to avoid conceding the first goal of the match. Missing from this game is Ilija Nestorovski, suspended, as well as Luka Lucic, who is dealing with physical issues.
