The supercomputer, taking into account the results from Saturday, has concluded: Hajduk is now the favorite to win the Croatian First Football League (HNL)

Following a dramatic round in the Croatian HNL where Hajduk defeated Gorica 5-0 and Dinamo lost 1-0 to newly promoted Rudeš, data analytics firm Football Meets Data updated their title probability models. The simulations indicate that Hajduk has overtaken Dinamo to become the favorite for the league championship, with their chances rising by 15 percentage points to 46%. Conversely, Dinamo's probability dropped by 18 percentage points to 43% due to the unexpected defeat against the bottom-placed team. The article notes that this marks the first time this season that Hajduk holds the statistical edge over Dinamo, who had nearly 80% odds earlier in the campaign. While the lead is significant, the piece emphasizes that two-thirds of the season remain, making the final outcome uncertain despite the current model predictions.

Garcia defended the players who were key to Hajduk's victory: "It's good to have options."

Spanish striker Martin delivered his best performance since joining HNK Hajduk Split on loan from Atletico Madrid this summer, scoring two goals and providing an assist against Gorica. The match marked a significant turnaround after months of criticism regarding his initial lack of impact compared to expectations. Manager Gonzalo Garcia defended the player, attributing the earlier struggles to the time required for adaptation to a new country, culture, and locker room environment. Garcia noted that while Martin feels more natural as a winger or second striker, he performed excellently as a center forward, giving the coach valuable tactical options. This strong display allows Martin to begin justifying the high hopes associated with his transfer to the club.
