Varazdin Team News
Many players left Varazdin in this transfer window, led by the best player Toni Teklic, who achieved a record transfer to Trabzonspor. The club reacted and brought in new reinforcements for deficit positions, and the former Hajduk player Ante Vukusic stands out as the leading name among the new faces.
With the old coach but a new line-up, Varazdin embarked on a new season visiting Gorica, where we watched two opposite halves. Varazdin was completely outplayed in the first, and Gorica deservedly took the lead. Still, in the second 45 minutes, they retreated too much into their half and conceded an equalizing goal ten minutes before the end.

Slaven Belupo Team News
The most significant change at Belupo in the preseason happened on the bench, where foreigner Ricardo Moniz replaced Zoran Zekic. He debuted last weekend at the opening of Osijek’s new stadium, whose team was highly motivated and achieved a massive victory of even 6:1 against Slaven.
As far as the team is concerned, Slaven Belupo changed almost half of the first line-up because a certain number of players left the team, but they also brought in some new names, which still need to show their actual quality. Even more significant problems for Slaven are caused by the absence of two essential players, Lamina Ba, and Domagoj Drozdjek so that they could be satisfied with one point in the always difficult away game in Varazdin.

Varazdin vs Slaven Belupo Prediction
Both teams changed their lineups, but Varazdin seems to be the team in better condition. The home favorites before this match are justified, but despite the absences and the fact that Slaven is still looking for form, we would not write them off.
Since with the new coach, Slaven conceded as many as six goals in the opening game, and they will surely pay a lot of attention to the defense in the preparation and in the game itself. On the other hand, Varazdin needs more quality for the attractive game they showed at the beginning of last season.
Therefore, the most optimal option for betting seems to be under/fewer goals, which pays very well with a coefficient of almost 1.75.
