Slaven Belupo vs Gorica Prediction: Gorica are on fire this season

Gorica's excellent results and current fourth place with 22 points from 13 games have put the club from Turopolje under a bit more media spotlight, and everyone mostly wonders hoꦐw the club, which barely escaped relegation last season, is now in the fight for European places. At the same time, it is important to emphasize that Gorica is a financial "dwarf" compared to almost every other team in the league, especially Dinamo and Hajduk, which they have already defeated on their home ground, with a draw in Maksimir a꧟gainst Dinamo. On Friday, starting at 20:00 in Koprivnica, eighth-placed Slaven Belupo and fourth-placed Gorica will open the 15th round of the SuperSport HNL.

Slaven Belupo

Form: LLLDW

The pharmacists are currently in the eighth position with three wins, four draws, and seven losses with one of the weakest defenses in the league. After the representative break, Roy Ferencina's team did not continue with the good performances they started showing because they are currently in a series of three defeats, including the cup where they were eliminated from the last-placed team in the league, Rudes. Slaven are not on the right track now, and Gorica are certa🦩inly not an opponent to underestimate. The only thing that is going to Slaven's advantage this Friday is the home field, but they are waiting for a hot opponent who is in great form and coming to Koprivnica for all three points.

Gorica

Form: WWLWW

Every season, HNL produces a positive surprise, and this year Gorica belongs to that category. As we wrote before, former coach Zeljko Sopic laid an excellent foundation before his departure, and the excellent specialist Dinko Jelicic continued in the same footsteps, and is currently extracting more than their maximum from an average team. Gorica are currently in great shape after big results over Osijek, Hajduk, and Dinamo, they are still undefeated at home, but their Achilles' heel is away games where they ar💜e n💜ot so convincing. However, considering the poor form and situation of Slaven, today's visit is a great chance for them to score points on the side and stay at the very top part of the table.

All this together with the forms of both teams, and their previous matches in which often both teams scored goals, led us to choose an interesting and a little bit risky pick, bot✱h team to score.
