This season brings new challenges, and NK Slaven Belupo has decided to reassess its tactical options. In recent matches, a noticeable change in the formation has been implemented. By shifting to a 4-3-3, the coach aims to increase attacking intensity while maintaining defensive solidity.

Key midfielders like D. Kovačić and L. Bošnjak are able to transition from defensive roles to attack, while forwards such as I. Lepinjica take on greater responsibilities. These changes have come as a result of analyzing previous matches where NK Slaven Belupo often fell short in the second half, losing points in crucial moments.

Statistics show that NK Slaven Belupo has earned eight points in the last five matches with the new formation, indicating a shift in their performance. During the last match, the atmosphere in the stadium was electric as supporters rallied behind the players. As it stands, this new strategy could be seen as the key to remaining in the fight for a higher finish in the league.
