The HNL has reached its crescendo. Dinamo Zagreb’s ability to grind out results has been the story of the season, but their recent slip-up has opened a door for Hajduk Split. "We don't look at the table; we look at the grass in front of us," the Dinamo captain stated following a tense draw.
Tactically, the league has seen a resurgence in the 3-5-2 formation, as teams attempt to match the technical proficiency of the top two by flooding the midfield and playing on the counter.
