In one of the matches of the 34th round of the Croatian championship, Slaven will host Rijeka. Who will break the winless streak?
"Slaven"
"Slaven" has long lost the chance of a place in the European Cup zone and at the moment is more like a club that is fighting for survival. "Slaven" ranks only seventh out of ten, with 31 points. The relegation zone is six points away, so relegation after the remaining three matches is unlikely to take place, but it should be noted that the club is in a terrible state, not winning for four rounds, including a draw and three defeats.
"Rijeka"
The theoretical chances of a place in the top three clubs of the First Division at "Rijeka" still remain, but she herself understands that it is almost unlikely to be possible to realize them. The fact is that "Rijeka" has 52 points and the fourth place, and "Gorica" has 59 and the third line. The distance is 7 points, and there are 9 points left at stake. In the last three matches, Rijeka have scored only one point out of nine potential ones, playing 0-0 with Osijek.
Statistics and figures:
- "Slaven" does not win four rounds, of which three defeats and a draw;
- "Rijeka" three rounds without a win: a draw and two defeats;
- In the last 19 head-to-head matches, Slaven won against Rijeka only once.
Forecast
Despite the fact that the bookmakers can not identify the favorite, it seems to me that it is "Rijeka" that claims this status. She is still in the race for the European Cup and has almost twice as many points scored. Yes, it is impossible to win three rounds, but why not break the series in a duel with "Slaven", which does not fight for anything and comes to the match with three losses in a row.
