17:00 RNK Split – Rijeka

The Reds are far from their best shape in this moment, as RNK Split won only once in its previous three games in 2015, but this victory came against a mediocre team like NK Zadar at the quarter-finals of the Croatian Cup (RNK Split – NK Zadar 1-0 on 11.02.2015), while the hosts won only one point against NK Istra 1961 (2-2 / home) and NK Osijek (0-4 / away) in the previous two rounds in this league.

In the matter of fact, the hosts lost only once in their previous ten games at this stadium in the league (3-6-1 16-11), but this defeat came exactly against this opponent in their previous meeting here in August (RNK Split – HNK Rijeka 0-3 on 10.08.2014).

HNK Rijeka is a better team than RNK Split in terms of quality and experience of the players and even though the Whites lost some good players during the break, they are still one of the teams with the biggest potential in this league.

Can be said, that the visitors showed good football in their previous three games in 2015, as they won 4-1 against NK Lokomotiva Zagreb at the quarter-finals of the Croatian Cup, followed by a goalless draw in the visit of NK Istra 1961 on Feb. 15 and 3-0 victory at home against good team like NHK Hajduk Split.

In my opinion, NHK Rijeka is the team with better chances to win three points from this clash.
