Re: Croatian Prva HNL 14/4 Zagreb vs Karlovac Karlovac (+0.5) @ 2.14 Pinnacle I was thinking a lot about this bet and finally decided to take it cause i see significant value in away team. Karlovac lost their top 3 position last week by taking only one point at home vs Varteks. It's a known fact that Karlovac plays much easier away from home because of their defensive minded formation. They are very tough at the back and their counter attack is excellent. Zagreb has to win today, i expect them to take more risk than they usually do and that can be very dangerous against Karlovac. Zagreb struggled against such teams this season and i don't expect any different tonight. My estimation is 45-55 at this line of 0.5 goals. Hosts will miss few regular players. Good luck. Slaven vs Zadar Slaven @ 1.62 Paddy Power After long winless streak Slaven won twice in last two rounds and they still can hope for the 3rd position and Europa League next season. For that, they will need to win most of their remaining games cause they are 5 points behind Šibenik and there are also few other teams running for that spot. They will have Nynkeu back for this match, crucial midfielder this season, while Papa and Vojnović will remain sidelined. Visitors lost their first game after long time at Istra. Zadar is almost saved from relegation but they will need to win few more points just to be sure. Today they will miss 2 of their best players, cpt Surać and best striker Terkeš so there won't be much danger for hosts. Odds are rapidly falling, and there's not much value in 1.62, but Slaven will win. Rijeka vs Sesvete Rijeka (-1.75) @ 2.00 Pinnacle Rijeka finally started to play, first they played probably the best game of the season vs Dinamo, and after that they scored 5 against Međimurje away from home in the last round. Those two games brought them back confidence and released pressure off their backs so they will have no problems beating the weakest team of the league today by 2-3 goals difference at least. Lokomotiva vs Međimurje Lokomotiva (-0.75) @ 1.78 5dimes Hosts haven't scored for 3 rounds already but despite that they are playing great football and are in very good form. Visitors under huge pressure after 1-5 home against Rijeka. They are in relegation zone and their away record isn't too encouraging before this match, only one win so far and 11 defeats. Lokomotiva should continue with their good displays and be somewhere inside the top 6 at the end of the season. GL. Varteks vs Dinamo Dinamo (-1) @ 1.98 bet365 Varteks only 3 pts above the relegation zone so they will have to win few games more to avoid relegation. Dinamo on the other hand in bad form but finally with Badelj back in the squad, at the moment best player by far. Dinamo will surely create more danger with him in the squad and i expect them to win tonight and improve the atmosphere around the team.

Re: Croatian Prva HNL 14/4 Hajduk - Istra 1961 Istra doesn't score @ 1.75 (local) - stake 5/10 Istra parks the bus as always on Poljud. Maybe fast Å ehić will run some counter attacks for Istra, but scoring all together, think not. Zagreb - Karlovac U2.5 @ 1.7 (local) - stake 8/10 draw @ 3.1 - stake 6/10 Karlovac doesn't score @ 2.3 - 4/10 result 0:0 @ 8 - 1/10 Both Karlovac and Zagreb has some serious injury crisis. Vukman, Jerneić, Pilipović are out, Novinić, Å tefančić and Sunara questionable for Karlovac. Zagreb has Å pičić, Jefthon, Pejić, Jugović, Mikulić, Kartelo all injured, and OrÅ¡ulić has 3 yellow cards. Karlovac is a defensive team and I don't think they'll change their approach this time. Zagreb doesn't manage well to crack this type of team and they've produced some pretty bad performances of late, as well as Karlovac. Zagreb is looking for points here, but with too defensive Karlovac they'll probably just grab a point. Slaven Belupo - Zadar HW @ 1.65 (local) - stake 7/10 Zadar doesn't score @ 2.3 - 4/10 result 2:0 @ 6.5 - 1/10 Zadar missing captain Surać and attacker TerkeÅ¡. Pretty bad away team. Total change of mentality when they leave Stanovi. On the other hand Slaven picked up and won last 2 games. Especially valuable one away in Osijek. Strong home team, no major missings, need this win before 3 rounds of tough opponents: Hajduk, Å ibenik and Karlovac. Lokomotiva - Međimurje HW @ 1.7 - 7/10 Međimurje is ready for relegation. Not enough quality, financial crisis, playing really bad last couple of rounds. Lokomotiva played well last round. Lost against "big brother" Dinamo only by a penalty. Home stats are great, and Dinamo II youth always gives a good display. No major missings.
