HNK Gorica Osijek betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is that Gorica will not win. Although the home team plays with strong support from their fans, Gorica is going through a difficult spell, having won only one of their last ten matches. On the other hand, Osijek is in better form and has a squad with more quality. Therefore, it is expected that the visiting team will manage to counter the home side's play and at least secure a point.
