Why we picked this for Istra 1961 vs HNK Rijeka

Under 2.5 goals is an analyst pick for Istra 1961 vs HNK Rijeka (1st HNL): it goes against the recent numbers below, so it carries no confidence figure. Recent form: 3 of Istra 1961's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (3.0 goals per game in total), against 4 of 5 for HNK Rijeka (3.6 per game). The recent numbers point the other way: only 3 of the 10 recent games of these two teams went under 2.5. Recent results can mislead when the teams have been playing very different opposition (another league, much stronger or much weaker sides), and here the analyst expects this match to play differently.

Previous meetings agree, with 4 of the last 5 head-to-heads ending under 2.5. Treat it as a judgement call rather than a pick backed by the numbers.
