Rijeka is in second place, lagging behind the championship leader by 18 points. There are small chances for the first place. But the team needs to win in every match. It is stupid to wait for the mistakes of Dynamo Zagreb. Besides, Hajduk is only two points behind.
After the restart, the players of Rijeka gained an away victory over Istra 1961 (1: 3), scoring the first goal already in the fourth minute and finishing off the opponent in the 93rd. Varazdin, in turn, lost to Dynamo Zagreb at home (1:3). The first leg ended in Rijeka’s’ victory (3:1). Although Varzdin will be the hosts of the upcoming meeting, the outcome is unlikely to be in their favor. Four best clubs have already beaten Varazdin at its stadium. Dynamo Zagreb (1:3), Lokomotiv Zagreb (0:2) and Hajduk (0:3) earned three points, having won with a difference of at least two goals. Rijeka should perform no worse. The visitors will have great motivation because they need to keep a place in the Champions League zone.
Prediction for the match: Rijeka to win with -1.0 handicap
