The match will be played at the Stadion Poljud on the 30th of July and the teams are positioned third and second in the table respectively after one game of the season.

HNK Rijeka make the trip to the Stadion Poljud having recorded a 4-0 home win over Rudeš in their opening match of the new Croatia 1. HNL season.

Trends show, including league games from last season, that HNK Rijeka are undefeated in 8 of their last 11 Croatia 1. HNL fixtures.
They finished last season poorly on the road and won only 1 of their final 5 away league games but they have a good record away against HNK Hajduk Split.
HNK Rijeka are undefeated in 17 of their last 20 away encounters with HNK Hajduk Split in the Croatia 1. HNL.
Team news: HNK Hajduk Split are likely to go with the same starting XI from last weekend.
Ivan Dolček and Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe are pushing for a place in the team.
HNK Rijeka could make one change from their winning team last week, with goal scorer Toni Fruk coming into the starting XI in place of Nais Djouahra.
This is going to be a great game to watch and we expect to see both teams find the back of the net. Each team will believe they can win this match but HNK Rijeka have a good away record at HNK Hajduk Split and it could be them who come away with maximum points.
