This Saturday at 15:00, a match will be held between Varaždin and Osijek in the Croatian Championship.
Varaždin concluded their last match against Istra with a defeat. The game took place on the 17th of May and ended 2:0 in favor of Istra. In the 2023/2024 Croatian Championship standings, Varaždin holds the 6th position. To date, they have played 35 games, of which they won 10, lost 13, and drew 12 matches. The goal difference stands at 39:45. The team has accumulated 42 points and shows inconsistent form in the last 5 matches: 2 losses and 3 wins. Though Istra emerged victorious in the last game, they are positioned 8th in the table, having played 36 matches. They have 10 wins, 15 losses, and have garnered 41 points.
On the 19th of May, Osijek secured a commanding victory over Rijeka with a score of 2:0. This matchup was a significant event for Osijek, solidifying their place in 4th position in the ongoing Croatian Championship season. The win added three crucial points to Osijek's tally, now amassing 54 points from 35 games (15 wins, 11 losses, and 9 draws, with a goal difference of 60:43). With such statistics, they firmly occupy the 4th spot in the Croatian Championship standings. Despite the defeat, Rijeka retains 2nd place with 71 points after 35 games (22 wins and 8 losses). This game didn't critically impact their position but highlighted the importance of maintaining form in the final matches of the season.
Osijek needs to defend their bronze position against Lokomotiva in the final round, while Varaždin no longer has motivation. I'm betting on an away win for Osijek.
