NK Osijek is at a crossroads, awaiting a new owner.

How did this happen?

The chapter in the battle for survival in SHNL could be closed as early as this weekend. The Osijek team won against Istra 1961 on Sunday at Opus Arena.

What does this mean for NK Osijek?

It's realistic that Osijek is indeed close to staying up, even if they slip up on Sunday. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 9th in HNL, 28 pts, 6W-10D-14L from 30 games | | Last result | NK Osijek 2-0 NK Slaven Belupo (2026-05-22) |

What are the prospects for NK Osijek?

The battle for the club's survival could last much longer. New Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar practically gave state legitimacy to these claims last week. And it's clear that in all this turmoil, Mészáros will consider Osijek one of his last priorities.
