APWin Prediction

Double Chance: Hajduk Split or Draw

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Hajduk Split to win

Hajduk Split vs Istra 1961 has all the makings of a competitive battle between two sides that are both eyeing an important win. But we are ever so slightly leaning toward Hajduk Split to win on the 1X2 market.

Hajduk Split will enjoy home advantage, which they have capitalised on with their strong form at home. They remain good value to win with their odds, and we expect them to pay out those odds with all three points at home.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.
