NK Slaven Belupo has started the HNL season at 5th place with 0 points, scoring and conceding 0 goals—a historic collapse. Their next match against NK Osijek (3rd in the table) on February 20, 2027, will be a defining test.

Why is this situation so dire?

The club from Koprivnica isn’t just winless—it’s 0-0 after multiple games, exposing a broken attack and defense. Facing Osijek (currently 3rd) means they must win two matches in a row just to stay in the middle of the table. Without tactical shifts or new signings, that’s impossible.

What’s next for Slaven Belupo?

The board and manager must decide: sell key players or invest in new talent. The February 20, 2027 match is the first real test—if they lose, the next clash with Dinamo Zagreb (or Hajduk, if the season follows this pace) could be fatal. Right now, 0 goals scored means forwards are invisible, and the defense is paper-thin.

What are fans saying?

Social media is already calling for a full overhaul. Without a clear plan, relegation is a real risk. 0 points aren’t just stats—they’re a warning that drastic action is needed.

Current standing (July 13, 2026): NK Slaven Belupo sits 5th with 0 points, 0-0 in goal difference, and their next game is vs NK Osijek (away) on February 20, 2027—a must-win to avoid deeper trouble.
