Istra 1961 have had a rough run lately, losing their most recent match and drawing the one before that. Their recent home form isn't great either, with a couple of losses and draws mixed in. NK Osijek are in even worse shape, though — they've been losing almost every week, often by big scorelines, and they haven't won in a long time.

When these two meet, the games have usually been one-sided rather than close, with Istra winning several of the recent meetings, including some by a wide margin. Based on how badly Osijek are struggling and how Istra have handled them recently, Istra 1961 look the stronger side here and should come away with the win.

Istra 1961 have had a mixed run lately, with a loss, a draw, and a win in their recent matches. They're not in great form, but they're not falling apart either. Osijek, on the other hand, are really struggling — they've lost four of their last five games, and in those losses they conceded a lot of goals. That suggests Osijek are having a tough time defensively and are low on confidence.

When these two teams meet, the games have often been close, but recent meetings have mostly gone Osijek's way, sometimes with a lot of goals. Even so, given how poor Osijek's current form is compared to Istra's steadier results, this looks like a match Istra can take advantage of. Istra 1961 are likely to win, though a draw wouldn't be a huge surprise either.
