HNK Rijeka (home)
- Don't expect a lot of action on Thursday when HNK Rijeka welcome FC Midtjylland to Stadion Rujevica in Croatia holding a 2-0 lead in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 tie.
- Matjaz Kek has the Riječki bijeli set up with much more structure, patience and transition control than chaos and they will be looking to slow this game down from the off.
FC Midtjylland (away)
- The visitors lead the series 2-0 after a victory at home and are in better form (W4, D1, L0, last 5 matches).
- Mike Tullberg's men play high-tempo, vertical soccer and press well, so they will look to force the issue and try to force turnovers in the wide areas and behind the central defence.
Key Players
Franculino is Midtjylland's main threat with two goals in three games in the series and three in his last five appearances, while Daniel Adu-Adjei leads the line for Rijeka with just one goal in five in this competition.
Betting Insights
- The draw price of 3.15 is perhaps too generous considering Rijeka are slight favorites at 2.52 and Midtjylland are 3.0.
- However, we feel under 2.5 goals is the best bet at 1.8 as this could be a cagey affair.
