Croatia HNL Standings: title race, star players and league facts

How the Croatian Football League Table is Shaped

The Croatia HNL is a top 10 football league, where each of those clubs will play their way to 36 games across the season. That's a pretty tight format, and it makes the standings page something that really matters for people who love to keep an eye on the odds for today's matches, or for anyone who likes to have a punt on the 1x2 markets, or handicap, or indeed the outright winner. Because, let's be honest, every twist and turn in form in the league is going to have a major impact on the standing, and that's what really gets the old title race, and the European places, and the relegation battle, right on the boil.

Who's been running the show recently

The recent champions of the Croatia HNL are:

  • 2024-25: Rijeka (whoever thought they had it in the bag!)
  • 2023-24: Dinamo Zagreb (just another title for them, to be honest)
  • 2022-23: Dinamo Zagreb (same old story, really)
  • 2021-22: Dinamo Zagreb (those guys are like a well-oiled machine)
  • 2020-21: Dinamo Zagreb (and this time we thought maybe someone else would have a go!)

Just looking at that list, you can see that Dinamo Zagreb have pretty much had a stranglehold on the league in recent years, but just last season, Rijeka came out of the blue to spoil the party - which makes things all the more interesting for fans, pundits and yes, even the bookies when it comes to the standings page.

The top scorers - the ones making it all happen

In recent years, we've seen some real prolific scorers in the Croatia HNL, including

  • 2024-25: Marko Livaja (Hajduk Split) - that guy just kept on scoring, with 19 to his name
  • 2023-24: Ramón Miérez (Osijek) - a real goal-getter - 18 for the season
  • 2025-26 and it's still anyone's game - Dion Drena Beljo is currently leading the way with 14

When it comes to the standings, the truth is that a small clutch of super goal-scorers can often decide the course of the competition - rather than a general spread of scoring all across the board.

Some of the biggest names - the ones that make the headlines

These are really the A-list players in the Croatia HNL right now - you know, the guys who make all the papers and all the bookies take notice. And we're talking here of:

  • Marko Livaja, Martin Baturina, Toni Fruk, Sandro Kulenović, Dion Drena Beljo and Michele Šego

When honouring the best of the 2024-25 season, Marko Livaja was named the Player of the Season, while Toni Fruk picked up the Young Player of the Season gong. These lads really make a difference in the league - whether it's through sheer individual brilliance or sheer squad depth.

And a few more things to keep in mind

Just a few things to take note of about the Croatia HNL that will make the standings page all the more interesting:

  • Hajduk Split - now that was a team that drew a big crowd last season - we're talking an average attendance of 22,028 at their home games
  • There's a pretty massive rivalry between Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split, a tension that has a lot of relevance to the standings page, by the way - that's what makes the Eternal Derby one of the highlights of Croatian football
  • And last season, Rijeka won the title, Šibenik got relegated, while Rijeka, Dinamo Zagreb, Hajduk Split and Varaždin all made the grade for Europe

Betting with the Croatia HNL Standings Page

For anyone who loves a bet, the Croatia HNL standings page is a real treasure trove, because it's not just a straightforward table - it's a snapshot of how the title pressure is building, where the European places are up for grabs and which teams are in danger of the drop. All of which can make all the difference to your betting odds, and the 1x2 odds, and indeed the handicap markets.
