Osijek vs Slaven Belupo Soccer Prediction

Details:

Osijek had a very turbulent season last year. They were the first team to beat Dinamo Zagreb last season, and they even eliminated the Blues from the national cup, and later in the season they had more than 10 straight games without a win.

Osijek started the preliminary games well by beating Granicar Laze 9-0 and Bohemians 3-2. This was followed by a 1-1 draw against Petrolul and a 2-0 defeat by MOL Fehervar.

Slaven Belupo played desperately in the finish of the previous season and it seemed that they couldn't wait for the season to end.

Things don't look too optimistic before the start of this season as Slaven Belupo are winless in their last 12 games.

Slaven was quite active in the preparatory period, playing as many as 6 games, in which they recorded three draws and the same number of defeats. In the last game, they were defeated 2-1 by Rijeka.

Key facts

• Osijek won 2 of the last 5 against Slave, with 2 draws and 1 loss
• Slaven Belupo has not scored in 5 of the last 6 games against Osijek
• 9 of the last 10 games between these two ended under 3.5 goals

The games at the beginning of the season are very difficult to predict, but things seem to be clear here. Osijek is still a very good defensive team that can save the net against any opponent. Slaven Belupo doesn't look dangerous at all right now after a few lackluster games in the preseason. Osijek traditionally plays very well at home and will manage to start the new season with three points.
