Hajduk Split are in fine form
Hajduk Split have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches, coming into this game on the back of a hard-fought 1-1 draw at HNL leaders Dinamo Zagreb and a 3-1 away win over NK Lokomotiva. Moreover, our HNK Hajduk Split vs Vukovar 1991 prediction highlights their recent 1-0 away victory over Vukovar 1991, where they took the points in the previous HNL head-to-head.
Since Gonzalo Garcia was appointed as coach in July 2025, Hajduk Split have looked like a much more modern, pro-active possession-based side with structure in their build-up play. Garcia has the players to deploy a 4-3-3 formation and they have been creating enough chances and scoring enough goals to be a force in the HNL 2025/2026 season. When they have the ball, Hajduk can control the tempo with their patient passing, they work the wide areas well and their coordinated pressing game forces plenty of turnovers for the home team. This HNK Hajduk Split vs Vukovar 1991 preview makes it clear that Hajduk Split's strengths make them one of the teams to watch.
Hajduk Split sit second in the HNL with 34 points from 17 games. The club’s main man so far this season is Michele Sego, the top scorer in the team’s league games with 9 in 16. According to the HNK Hajduk Split vs Vukovar 1991 prediction, Sego has scored 4 of Hajduk’s last 7 and is a key player in the HNL.
Vukovar 1991 have lost 6 of 8 away HNL matches
Vukovar 1991’s form has been mixed with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 5 games. The visitors have failed to win in their last 3 away games, and they have picked up just 2 draws and suffered 6 losses in 8 HNL 2025/2026 away games. Silvijo Cabraja has reshaped Vukovar 1991 since September 2025 into a pragmatic, defence-first unit focused on survival and organisation.
Vukovar 1991 sit 9th in the table on 15 points from 17 games, compared to Hajduk Split’s 34 points from 17 matches. The visitors will surely sit deep and set up in a compact 4-2-3-1 formation to frustrate the hosts. They’ll defend in numbers and look to disrupt the home side’s game, hoping to punish Hajduk errors on counter attacks and with set pieces.
Robin Gonzalez is Vukovar 1991’s main goal threat with 6 in 17 HNL games and is worth a look for an anytime scorer this Sunday. Jakov Puljic has also hit form for Vukovar 1991, bagging 2 of their last 6 goals and will pose a threat against Hajduk Split. Our HNK Hajduk Split vs Vukovar 1991 prediction does suggest, however, that the visitors will have a tough time finding space against Hajduk’s well-organized back line.
Hajduk Split should dominate possession and control the game
Hajduk Split are the clear favorites at 1.27 for this home match, but an upset would take a Vukovar 1991 win to 9.3. I simply don’t see that happening given the form guide and the positions of these two teams in the HNL table. For more insights, check the HNK Hajduk Split vs Vukovar 1991 betting tips if you are looking for value picks. Hajduk Split are unbeaten in 2 at home, with 1 win and 1 draw and Vukovar 1991 have lost 6 of their 8 HNL 2025/2026 road games.
Backing Over 2.5 goals at 1.65 looks like a good way to go for this clash, given Hajduk’s attacking home stats and Vukovar’s leaky away record. Hajduk Split’s 4-3-3 formation and pro-active style should see them dominate possession and dictate the play against a deep Vukovar 1991 block, which will give them chances to score goals and take 3 points.
