On September 13th, in the fifth round of the HNL, Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split will face off. The home team has their sights set on extending their unbeaten run against Hajduk Split to four games.
Dinamo Zagreb
Dinamo Zagreb are in great shape this season as they have their sights set on what will be their 25th Croatian league title. In their most recent match, they were locked in a 1-1 tie against Rijeka away from home. They enter the sixth round of the HNL as current league leaders with 13 points from 5 games.
Under the leadership of Sergej Jakirpvic, last season's champions have been a dominant force as they are on a streak of 21 games without defeat in all competitions with a record of W18, D2, L0 and a goal difference of 45-12.
Hajduk Split
Following their elimination from the Europa Conference League qualification, losing 1-0 to Ruzomberok in the second leg. Hajduk Split turned their attention to the HNL, where they went on a rampant run going unbeaten in three games (W2, L1) to secure a top three finish before the international break.
Despite a two week break, Split lacks the malice to see off a Dinamo Zagreb side that they have failed to defeat in their last three encounters (L2, D1) and could struggle here for a favorable outcome.
