A round before the end of the regular season in the Croatian League, Jadran Split mathematically secured 1st place. It will enter the playoffs from a pole position.

Jadran beat Mladost 12:9 in the derby of the 13th round. Jadran and 2nd-placed Jug are still tied in points. But, the Split-based side has a better score in head-to-head encounters. Jug finished the regular season (it played one match more than Jadran), so it can’t climb to a higher step.

The match between Mladost and Primorje in the last round will decide 3rd place before the playoffs.
