September 10th features a match where Osijek and Rijeka will play a match in Rijeka in a meeting of these two closely matched 1. HNL teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Rijeka recorded a 1-3 loss against Dinamo Zagreb. Rasmus Lauritsen scored the first goal for Dinamo Zagreb in the 28th minute, then Dario Špikić added another in the 30th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Osijek recorded a 1-1 draw against Šibenik. Laszlo Kleinheisler struck first for Osijek in the 38th minute, but Burgui got the equalizer for Šibenik in the 78th minute earning Šibenik a comeback draw. Osijek is looking for direction having 2 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Osijek won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Osijek’s top weapon lately has been Drena Dijon, who has three goals in the last 5 matches. Bernard Karrica and Haris Vučkić are the top scorers for Rijeka in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
