For Croatians clubs EURO competition is over for this season and HNL1 close to season break but still few matches before that. Sorry on my bad english.
Most interesting team to watch will be Osijek who suprised all after 18 games holding strongly third place and will challenge "weaken" Dinamo and last day before season break Hajduk. It will be interesting can they take advantage on Gradski. With great games behind them
Tomislav Rukavina with team will for sure try to take advantage of Dinamo players tiredness.
While overall looking at team its obvious there is confidence betwen player and staff room ... also lets not forget that last year they won Croatian Cup and were also close to top at one moment but at some point they break down... many belive this is their chance and for sure Osijek will do all they can to try to make miracle.
Diaz didnt want to comment too much game but he sayed that he belives how Osijek is one of contenders this year to take title but also stated that he belives in his team and do not belive that final result will affect season winner.
Also Dinamo defeated this season Osijek 6:1 on Maksimir which is biggest win this season. Modri also didnt lose 6 matches in row in HNL... can Osijek stop them?
But before that we will have Inter Zapresic curently last on table welcoming Hajduk on second place and would probably easy take all three points .. if they do and win over Osijek than before season break they will stand on first place with one point more than Dinamo. If Dinamo wins over Osijek and Hajduk lose against Osijek but win against Inter Zapresic than Dinamo staying first and Osijek moves to second place. Dinamo would probably most like to see Hajduk and Osijek playing draw no matter what.
Sesvete in dangerous area will fight on bottom table with Zagreb, both with same points but Sesvete with one match more than Zagreb. Same day Split with solid performances with little oscillations will welcome Slaven Belupo who cannot stop fall and is currently on 7th place with 21 points.
On Sunday December 13th Istra will also welcome Rijeka before season break. Rijeka in little problems lately will for sure look for win. With possible lose against Istra, Rijeka could find them in position not to fight for EURO next year... even tho they are still Croatian Cup. Same day Osijek will wait Dinamo on Gradski us mentioned.
Week after that again mentioned game Osijek versus Hajduk and also we will have Rijeka facing 8th positioned Zagreb now... day when teams will go on season pause for 2 months. Howerever interesting matches in front of us.
