① Rijeka carry some edge in Croatia's top flight and should edge the visitors.

② Hajduk Split may yet push for a goal, but the defense could hold.

③ Expect a tactical duel with a late decisive moment.

① Osijek are clear favorites thanks to home advantage and stronger squad.

② Vukovar 91 will likely sit deep and aim for counter opportunities.

③ A 2-0 home win is plausible with Osijek maintaining solidity at the back.
