This Wednesday at the Stadion Cibalia in Vinkovci closes the season in Croatian football, when Dinamo Zagreb comes out for the double against an always complicated Hajduk Split, in what is the game corresponding to the final of the Croatian Cup.
Dinamo Zagreb:
The directed by Nikola Jurevi could turn around the four games without winning in the 1.HNL of Crocia where three of them were defeats, and so on the last day they beat Inter Zapresic 3-1 and with it maintained the advantage of three points on Rijeka and in this way he won a new title in Croatian football, so now on Wednesday he wants to close the season with a new celebration, but now for the Croatian Cup and for this Jurevi relies on what can make his maximum referents in attack as are the Algerian El Soudani who with his goal in the last win was the title of scorer in the 1.HNL with his 17 goals, in addition to one of his escorts as is the Swiss Mario Gavranovic who was the one who sealed the victory last weekend with a double that allowed him to add 15 goals in the season, and without leaving aside the national Mario Budimir with 14 goals and the Spanish Daniel Olmo with 8 goals.
Hajduk Split:
On the other hand, the ones led by Eljko Kopic, although they have lost 3-1 last weekend in their visit to Rijeka, it must be said that very little did they care about this game every time after securing the third place and with it To qualify for the UEFA Europa League, he made variants in the primetime, in order to have his team complete for the game on Wednesday and thus not close the season with empty hands.
Like his rival on the turn, Kopic has a team of good scorer production, to the point that they are the second best forward of the season with 70 goals, below Rijeka who has 75 goals, and this is largely due to the effectiveness shown by the Italian Ghanaian striker Ahmed Said with 11 goals and the national Ante Erceg with 9 goals.
As for direct confrontations between these teams the results have been divided, so each one adds two victories in the last five commitments, but in spite of this they have been entertaining games since in four of them they have scored between two and more goals.
As for direct games for the Croatian Cup the last time they met was in the semi-final of the 2015/16 seasons and where Dinamo Zagreb won the away game 0-2 and then at home sentenced the series with a 4- 0 for the 6-0 overall and thus wide to six consecutive victories in definitions games, since he also won it in the two previous games for this tournament as well as in two Super Cup finals.
Now the last time these teams played a final of the Croatian Cup was in the 2008/09 season and as at that time they played round-trip games, each won their home game 3-0, but in the end Dinamo Zagreb won the title through penalties.
PREDICTION: D. Zagreb to win @ 1.75
