Osijek vs Varazdin Prediction & Betting Tips

Osijek vs Varazdin Preview

Osijek host Varazdin in a Croatia HNL fixture that looks genuinely hard to predict on paper. Both sides have been inconsistent lately, but the head-to-head history between these clubs suggests this could be a tight and cagey affair.

Recent meetings have been remarkably close, with draws and narrow margins dominating. Varazdin actually hold the upper hand in recent encounters, so Osijek will know they need to be at their best to take anything from this one.

Osijek Finding Goals Hard To Come By At Home

Osijek’s home form has been a mixed picture recently, with their attack looking particularly toothless in certain matches. They drew 0-0 with Gorica at home in their last home outing, and that followed a heavy 0-3 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb at the same venue.

To their credit, they did beat Vukovar 2-0 and Rijeka 1-0 at home earlier in the season, showing they can get results there. However, the 7-0 thrashing away at Dinamo Zagreb last time out will have done real damage to their confidence going into this game.

Varazdin Showing Encouraging Away Form Recently

Varazdin have been reasonably solid on their travels in recent weeks, picking up some useful results away from home. They won 0-2 at Slaven Belupo and 1-2 at Gorica in their last five away matches, showing a real ability to nick victories on the road.

Their most recent away outing ended in a 2-1 defeat at Istra, but before that they drew 1-1 at Lokomotiva Zagreb. Overall their away record suggests they are a difficult side to completely shut out when travelling.

Osijek vs Varazdin Prediction

Given how tight these two sides have been in recent head-to-head meetings, including two draws and a narrow Varazdin win, a draw feels like the most natural outcome here. Backing the draw at 3.22 odds looks like a genuinely interesting option worth considering.

With both sides having shown they can find the net and the head-to-head history featuring goals at both ends, both teams to score at 1.85 odds is a reasonable second selection that the recent data supports.

A 1-1 draw fits this fixture perfectly given the pattern of tight recent meetings between the sides. The correct score of 1-1 at 5.00 odds represents a solid each-way type play for those looking for a bigger return.
