Betting suggestion:

Given what we discussed earlier, the possibility of a victory of the local team is great. Rijeka should push Sarpsburg to their midfield, dominating possession and creating the best chances to score goals. On the other hand, the away team should choose only to counter-attack, a transition in which they should create little danger. Having said this, risking in the triumph of the locals is an excellent option.

Preview
Rijeka and Sarpsborg 08 meet at Nogometno igralište Rujevica, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Europa League (3rd Qualifying Round). These two teams tied (1‑1) in the 1st leg match. Rijeka registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Rijeka

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match in advantage after a (1‑1) away draw in the previous match, so a tie may be enough to qualify for the next round. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 14 wins and 1 draw at their stadium. They come to this match after a home draw against Hajduk Split by (1‑1). Rijeka has won 9 and tied 1 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 47 of the last 54 have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In the last 4 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Rijeka comes for this match with a 1-1 draw against Hajduk Split in a match for the Croatian Championship. We remember that the Croats added a 1-1 draw in the first leg against Sarpsburgo, meaning they are at an advantage because of the goal scored away from home. Coach Matjaz Kek is expected to play in 4-2-3-1 in favor of ball possession and the organizing attacks, especially through the aisles: Zoran Kvric is a very fast and excellent player in the offensive transition. There are no weight absences for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Simon Sluga, Roberto Punčec, Leonard Žuta, Dario Župarić, Mario Pavelić, Dario Čanađija, Srđan Grahovac, Domagoj Pavičić, Héber, Boadu Maxwell Acosty, Alexander Gorgon.
