Hajduk Split vs Rudes Prediction: Rudes can’t compete with the best

Hajduk and Rudes will play the match at an empty Poljud. This is a match that, on paper, does not represent the significance of the result for either of them. After a big drop in form, "Whites" can neither rise nor fall from third place, while the last-placed Rudes officially said goodbye to the elite rank of the championship two rounds ago. This match is part of the 32nd round of the Croatian HNL league.

Form: WLLLL

The situation in Hajduk is still tense, everyone expected much more from this team, especially after the great start of the league. Marko Livaja has returned to training but will not be in the squad for the match against Rudes, but should return for Varazdin. Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe will also skip the game, and the situation with the previously injured has changed slightly. Hajduk are in 3rd place with 58 points, and in the last round, they finally won and ended the bad run of 5 defeats in a row in league and cup.

Form: LLLLL

Rudes enters every game with a lot of energy, especially against teams with stronger names. It is a special motivation to play in Poljud, and besides the fact that this team is already relegated, they will do everything to get points against one of the biggest Croatian teams. Rudes have only a point won in the away matches this season and a goal difference of 3:33. Their last win in this stadium was in 2017 when they won 3:2.

Everything is changed in Hajduk, from the president of the club, staff, trainers, coaches, managers of the youngsters, etc. Since they can’t move up on the table they are now using different strategies, many youngsters are getting a chance in the first team and it seems that it shook things up a little and everyone starts to fight for a spot in the team. Hajduk are playing in an empty stadium, without support, but still, they are huge favorites against Rudes at home.
