Ahead of the upcoming match in Koprivnica, head coach Damir Burić said:

"The players worked hadr this week, it's visible that they are highly motivated to make further progress. Some of the injured players are recovering, Josip Posavec is feeling better, he has started training, Čolina also participated some parts of the training with the team. Marin Jakoliš now has right to play, we are looking forward to the match in Koprivnica. Slaven lost the first three games but they couldn't have a tougher schedule, Osijek away, Dinamo at home and then Rijeka away, now Hajduk. I think that they even deserved a point or more in those matches. Their current position on the table is not the appropriate indicator, their coach is doing a good job. They are a good team, but so are we. We want to show that we are better, just like we did against Varaždin and Lokomotiva. Our tasks and objectives remain the same, out path will always be the same. We want to win each match":
