HNK Rijeka vs Ilves
📖 The Preview
Rijeka are in brilliant form right now, winning seven of their last eight, and with this being a knockout tie at home, they've got every reason to push hard from the off. Ilves have been inconsistent, winning and losing in patches, and they've looked shaky enough away from home to give Rijeka real hope here. Expect the hosts to control proceedings, nick a couple of goals, and keep a clean sheet in what should be a fairly tight, disciplined 2-0 win that does the job without drama.
