According to the current form of the teams, the match between Varazdin and Istra promises to be unpredictable. Varazdin has 26 points and has shown inconsistent results, winning only 1 out of the last 5 games. Istra, with 25 points, is also not very impressive, with only 2 wins in their last 5 matches. Considering that both teams are struggling in attack (26:31 for Varazdin and 22:41 for Istra), it is predicted that the total goals will be under 2.5. It is worth noting that Istra has only scored 4 goals in their last 5 matches, indicating problems in converting opportunities. Therefore, a tense game with a low number of goals scored by both teams is expected.
