Welcome to our Slaven Belupo vs Gorica prediction for the HNL league match scheduled on December 5, 2.15, at 17:00 GMT. We’ll break down the latest stats, betting tips, head to head records, and our own expert insights to help you make the most informed choices. If you’re looking for a readable, human-style preview with a dash of wit and plenty of substance, you’re in the right place.
This HNL encounter at Gradski stadion Ivan Kušek Apaš in Koprivnica sees Slaven Belupo, currently sitting 3rd in the league, host Gorica, who are down in 8th. The home side has shown a blend of resilience and attacking flair in recent weeks. Their last five league outings include a pair of hard-fought draws—1-1 against Istra 1961 and 0-0 away at Hajduk Split—plus back-to-back 2.15 victories over Osijek and Istra 1961. It’s a sign that Slaven Belupo are tough to beat and have rediscovered their scoring touch.
Gorica, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency. A 1-0 win over Istra 1961 was a rare bright spot in a run otherwise marked by 1-3 defeats to Hajduk Split, Vsnk Varazdin, and HNK Rijeka. While Gorica have shown they can spring a surprise—like their stunning 2.15 away win at Dinamo Zagreb earlier this season—their away form against Slaven Belupo is a concern. In fact, Gorica haven’t beaten Belupo on the road in their last seven league visits.
Squad-wise, Belupo’s lineup has featured players like Čović, Hlevnjak, Kovačić, and Nestorovski, while Gorica’s Jurica Pršir was among the scorers in their September 2.15 win. With a squad value of €9.02m compared to Gorica’s €7.85m, Belupo are slightly better resourced, too.
Now, let’s get down to the numbers and predictions that matter for bettors. The current odds are 2.15 for a home win, 3.45 for a draw, and 3.6 for an away win. Our Slaven Belupo vs Gorica prediction leans towards a home victory, with a trust rating of 3.9/10 and odds of 2.15. While not a slam dunk, the data and recent head to head stats give Belupo the edge.
For those looking for safer betting tips, our top recommendation is over 1.5 goals in the match—rated 8.0/10 for trust, with odds of 1.33. Both teams have shown a tendency to score and concede, and with 15 of their 31 meetings featuring goals at both ends, this looks a solid bet.
Our predicted final score is 2.15 in favor of Slaven Belupo, with a 1-0 lead at half-time. The stats suggest a competitive but slightly home-favored game, with both sides likely to create chances but Belupo’s recent form and home advantage tipping the scales.
To sum up our Slaven Belupo vs Gorica prediction: the home side’s recent head to head record, superior squad value, and current league position all point towards a Belupo win. However, Gorica’s occasional surprises mean this isn’t a foregone conclusion. For punters, the over 1.5 goals market looks like the best betting tip, combining strong statistical backing with attractive odds.
Whether you’re interested in head to head trends, betting tips, or simply want a smart, readable match preview, we hope this Slaven Belupo vs Gorica prediction helps you make confident choices for December 5th. Good luck!
