NextGOAL tip: Rudeš +1.5 · 3 stars
Rudeš and Rijeka meet in clearly contrasting form. The hosts just won 2-1 in their latest league match, while the visitors just lost 1-4 at home. Rudeš have still conceded plenty of goals throughout matches this season, especially late on, where they concede as much as 24% of all the goals they let in, but they always manage to find a goal back, as in their latest 2-1 win. As for Rijeka, although they have lost two in a row, they are still clearly the team with more possession and more shots on target (56% per match). Their away form is not that bad either. This game will likely see Rijeka as the side pushing forward, because they have more quality in possession and chance creation, while Rudeš will likely sit deep and wait to counter at speed, especially late in the match when Rijeka often concede. If Rudeš can hold firm and use their counters well, the game could end up closer than many expect.
