Gorica vs Hajduk SplitPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Gradski stadion in Velika Gorica hosts a meeting of two sides who have started the season badly: HNK Gorica are on zero points after two rounds, HNK Hajduk Split have just one. Un Gorica ancora senza punti Gorica have lost both matches, 2-0 at home to Osijek and 3-1 in Zagreb against Lokomotiva, with a single goal in two outings. Pre-season had offered no better signs: defeats to Shakhtar and St. Pauli and one win. Un Hajduk diviso fra Europa e campionato Hajduk drew 2-2 with Istra and lost 2-1 at Varazdin, but in the Conference League they won 5-2 in Vilnius against Zalgiris. This is a side that swings between very different displays: in the same month they beat Pafos 2-0 and shipped four in the return. Il verdetto: Under 3.5 asks for three goals at most. Five of the six head-to-heads finished under the line, with two games settled by a single goal, and Gorica are scoring very little in this opening spell; the risk is the HNL itself, running at 3.89 goals a game, the highest average among today's European leagues. The estimate is around 77%. La mia lettura: two sides searching for themselves, and the game should stay tense and low on goals.
