There is plenty riding on this Second NL encounter for Jarun and Grobničan Čavle alike, and neither will want to leave the home ground empty-handed. The hosts have struggled for consistency, D in their last five pointing to a win rate of 25%. Grobničan Čavle have struggled to string results together away from home, L over their last five with a win rate of 25%. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. The 24-year-old finished first in one of Arsenal's big pre-season testing challenges - a 1.4km run at full pace.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Jarun may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Grobničan Čavle have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. The Germany club were said to be looking for an out-and-out striker to allow Harry Kane to play a deeper role, and made an approach for Sesko in 2024.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other.

Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 2-2. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
