Derry City will be looking to claim a major scalp when they welcome Rijeka for the return fixture of their Conference League qualifying tie. The Irish side suffered a 1-0 defeat in Croatia, but they remain confident of turning things around on home soil, where they have been much more convincing. Derry City have won three of their last five matches at home and average 2.4 goals per game in front of their own fans. However, midfielder Darragh Markey will miss out through injury, leaving the hosts with one fewer option in midfield.
Rijeka, meanwhile, travel to Ireland with a valuable advantage and will aim to manage the game intelligently while protecting their slim lead. The Croatian outfit have been defensively solid lately, keeping clean sheets in six of their last 10 matches and conceding just 0.7 goals per game on average during that period. Winger Toni Fruk will be the player to watch after finding his scoring rhythm recently, and Rijeka will look to exploit spaces if Derry are forced to push forward.
Rijeka have seen under 2.5 goals in all of their last five matches, while the first leg finished 1-0. Therefore, Under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered, alongside Half-Time Draw and Away Win (Rijeka should have opportunities to score on the break).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 30 July 2026 at 18:30.
