Rudes’s situation is increasingly complicated because he has to deal with Rijeka even though he has not been able to win since the beginning of the month. The top dwellers are scheduled to arrive at Kranjceviceva Stadium and compete on Saturday (23/2).
Rudes arrived at the Lokomotiva NK headquarters last Saturday (16/2) and was quite satisfied with the position of the glasses. Because, it was the first point this month after being beaten 7-2 at Dinamo Zagreb, then 0-1 humiliated by Osijek when appearing at Kranjceviceva.
Draw glasses also decorate the duel between Rijeka vs Hajduk Split. This draw was the first this month after they lost 1-3 to HNK Gorica as the host, then won 0-3 at Inter Zapresic’s headquarters. It was this frantic appearance that made Rijeka stand in line 3 with a difference of 2 points from Osijek on it.
Rijeka will try to take advantage of Rudes’ condition to replace Osijek as runner-up. After all they managed to win 5-1 when they played as hosts in the November match to win 5 wins in the last 6 matches. Rudes himself is currently sinking at the bottom of the standings with a difference of 12 points from the closest participants.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
