HNK Gorica have had a mixed start to their season, with a couple of draws, a win, and some losses, so they're not in great form but not terrible either. Istra 1961 have also been up and down, with a win, a draw, and a loss in their recent matches, so both teams are struggling to find consistency.

When these two teams meet, the games are usually tight and low-scoring, with many recent matches ending one-nil or nil-nil, so it doesn't look like a high-scoring affair. Given how close these teams are and their recent meetings being so tight, this one looks like it could go either way, but a draw seems like the most likely outcome.

HNK Gorica has been up and down lately, with a couple of draws, some losses, and one win, so they're not exactly in great form. Istra 1961 is also struggling — they lost their most recent match and have a mix of draws and a win in their last few games. When these two teams meet, the games tend to be tight and low-scoring, often ending with just one goal deciding it, though there have been a few high-scoring exceptions in the past.

Given that both sides are having similar, unimpressive runs and their recent meetings have mostly been close, this looks like a match that could go either way. A draw seems like the most likely outcome, with neither team showing enough to clearly dominate the other.
