Slaven Koprivnica Istra 1961 betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is that Istra won't win. Not only do the home side have more individual strengths, but they're also playing at home, where they'll have the warm support of their fans. Istra have won only one of their five matches in the league. It's therefore to be hoped that the home side will demonstrate their superiority and come away with at least a point.
