What to expect

We expect about 1.4 goals from NK Varaždin and 0.9 from NK Istra 1961, so NK Varaždin come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: NK Varaždin to win. NK Varaždin are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.4-0.9), and we make them about 49% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 49 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.68, which works out at about 60 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

One thing to watch

Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn NK Istra 1961 a draw or better. The price is shorter than our own read of about 49%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
