NK Zagreb U19 – Hajduk Split U19, 1.HNL Juniori Prediction

The senior team of Zagreb competes in 3.HNL WEST. The U19 team is very young this season as some of the best youngsters are transferred to the senior team, which means that Zagreb U19 are weakened. Additionally, Zagreb’s talented young men are either in Lokomotiva or in Dynamo or in the senior team. Certainly not in Zagreb’s junior, which makes the reality for them quite difficult. It should also be noted that Zagreb U19 are new in this junior league this season, thanks to its expansion, with 10 clubs becoming 14. Hajduk U19 finished second in the last season, which is quite disappointing, so like three rounds before the end, they were already celebrating the victory, but eventually lost some games and failed to become champions. Accordingly, they finished second.

In the first match for this season, Zagreb U19 lost to Istra U19 by 4-1, which is quite indicative of the team’s status as Istra U19 were already leading 4-0 in the 16th minute. On the other hand, Hajduk sent several players to the national team for U19 and U20, but only one of them is junior, as U19 is playing Palaversa, which is reserve in Hajduk. Krekovic is also reserve and Bajic is one of the youngsters. Nejasmic, Batarelo, and Spikic are also Hajduk players, but they are not youngsters, but play for Hajduk’s reserves and are sometimes called in youth formations. There is a lot of transition in Hajduk, but this club only earns money from them, because they are talented. Croatia was a finalist in the World Cup this summer and it’s no accident. Hajduk is making pretty good money, when they sell their talents to bigger teams, so they are betting a lot on them. There are players in the team of Hajduk U19, who also have championship titles, which is quite important.

Here the victory for Hajduk U19 is reasonable and with a very good odds, but our prediction is X2, which is more secure and it’s still pretty good odd of 1.67.
