The HNL Round 3 will feature one of the games of the season early on as HNK Rijeka and GNK Dinamo Zagreb clash. Both teams are yet to lose a game this season and will be looking to continue their impressive form. Read on to discover our best HNK Rijeka vs GNK Dinamo Zagreb match prediction.
While the home side, Riječki Bijeli, will be a tough nut to crack at Stadion HNK Rijeka, the visiting Plavi have been formidable themselves in their opening games. Both teams boast a formidable attack with a knack for scoring, and with a history of high-scoring games, this could very well be a goal-fest. Our prediction points towards both teams finding the back of the net, and with good reason.
This specific fixture has a strong history of goals. Looking at their head-to-head record, both teams have scored in 13 of their last 20 clashes. Moreover, in their meetings at Rijeka's home ground, both teams have scored in ten of the last 11 games, with all ten happening consecutively.
GNK Dinamo Zagreb's recent 3-0 home win against Vukovar 91 was an emphatic display of their offensive prowess, while Rijeka's 3-1 away victory against Shelbourne in the Europa League shows they can also get goals on the road. Both sides are in good scoring form, with Zagreb scoring in nine consecutive games, and Rijeka in three of their last five. The home side have also managed to score in 13 straight home games against Zagreb.
