On Friday, coach Joan Carrillo held a pre-match press conference, ahead of Saturday's match against Osijek at Poljud, kick - off 17:00.

"This is a very important game for us, taking three points is really important. There are still a few rounds until the end of the season. Both teams will try to win. I expect a very interesting game.After watching the last games of Osijek, and I have seen  quite a lot of them, I think they have worked hard on defense and transition. In the matches against Dinamo and Rijeka, it was very obvious. But I believe they will be brave tomorrow, they are coming here to seek for victory. And winning is always our goal" said Carrillo.

"Osijek played the whole championship very well. I don't think about their previous results at all. The past does not matter, but the future. As far as I'm concerned, Hajduk is moving forward, we have progressed. Not only because of the results, but because of a good organization of our game that is now dominating. Hajduk is convincing in every sense. Hajduk is in a good rhythm, however, there is always room for further progress in the game" concluded Carrillo.
