Osijek Varaždin betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match has all the conditions to be very intense and with several goals in the final score. The home team wants to give a response to the defeat against NK Istra. Therefore, it is expected that a team will play with high pressure and disturb the strategy of the opposing team. On the other hand, the visitors should try to avoid Osijek's marking, opting for a more direct game. Having said that, and taking these arguments into account, we expect the home team to bear the costs of the match, but with the visitors enjoying moments to score as well. Therefore, we will bet on "over 2.5 goals".
