Ilves will need to adopt an attack-minded approach when they host Rijeka in the second leg of their Conference League third qualifying round tie. Given the huge gap in quality between the two sides, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win. The Finnish side trail 1-0 from the first leg, but they can take confidence from their outstanding home form. Ilves have won all four of their last home matches, scoring 2.00 goals per game and conceding only 0.50. They have also found the net in every one of those fixtures, while Maksim Stjopin is expected to sneak into the starting XI. There are no fresh injury worries for the hosts.
Rijeka arrive in Finland in sensational form, having won their last nine matches in all competitions. Their defensive record has been particularly impressive, with the Croatian side conceding just 0.30 goals per game across their last 10 matches and keeping clean sheets in eight of them. Rijeka have also won 50% of their recent away fixtures and conceded only 0.50 goals per game on the road. Defender Teo Barisic is ruled out through injury.
Rijeka's nine-game winning streak and outstanding defence offer plenty of confidence. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside Rijeka to Quality and Under 3.5 goals (Rijeka’s last 10 matches average just 1.60 goals).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 13 August 2026 at 17:00.
