Hajduk Split vs Slaven Belupo Prediction: A duel between two opponents who are in opposite moods

Slaven Belupo is visiting Poljud in Split this Saturday from 20:10. A very difficult visit for the Pharmaceutics who will try to surprise Leka's team. The home team enters the match after a victory against Osijek in the Gradski vrt, while the visitors fell to seventh place in the championship after losing to Lokomotiva in Zagreb.

Hajduk failed to take advantage of Dinamo's setbacks to reduce the gap to the current champion, and it is hard to believe that the team from Split will be able to start a fight for the title because they themselves are not playing convincingly. There is only one derby left until the end of the season, the one on April 29 in Poljud, but by then the situation will be even clearer. Hajduk is safe in second place, but a much more interesting battle is taking place below it. As a reminder, the champion goes to the Champions League qualifiers, and the second and third teams go to the Conference League qualifiers.

Slaven will be weakened and without several players in this away game as well. Slaven Belupo have been Hajduk's favorite guest for a long time, in HNL the Pharmaceutics won their first victory only in February 2018. To this day, they have remained on that one victory, and since the League is played in this format, since the summer of 2013, they have held the status of a desirable guest. Hajduk often knew how to restore confidence with victories against Slaven Belupo. Although Slaven Belupo are in 7th place, they still are in competition for European spots.

After the big win in the last round against Osijek, Hajduk showed that the crisis is over and despite the fact that this team is far behind the leader Dinamo and that there aren’t many chances for this team to enter into the title race again, at home they are big favorites. Slaven Belupo has been struggling lately and this match comes in a very bad period for them, as this is one of the hardest away matches in the league for them.
