PremiumMatch analysis
NK Varazdin have won four of their last five games, form that has Superior backing them not to lose on the Asian Handicap in NK Varazdin vs Istra 1961 on 4 September, priced at 1.21 with the model only 50 percent confident, the least certain football pick of the day. Istra have conceded two or more goals in three of their own last five.
Varazdin have won four of their last five games
Outside of a single 1-3 defeat, Varazdin have strung together four wins including a 4-1, a side finding results at home consistently. Istra have shipped two or more goals in three of their own last five matches, a defense that has struggled on its travels, support for a home side that at worst draws this one.
Istra have won three of the last five meetings between these sides
The head-to-head record actually favours the visitors: Istra have won three of the last five meetings, with Varazdin winning only once. If that history repeats instead of Varazdin's current form, an away win is the one way this pick loses outright, and a 50 percent model rating, the lowest of the day, reflects exactly how live that possibility is.
