Midtjylland and Rijeka go head to head at MCH Arena in the first leg of their playoff tie. Midtjylland advanced past Bohemians 5-2 on aggregate in the previous round and have won four of their last five matches in all competitions. The Danish side have been dangerous going forward, averaging 2.00 goals per game across their last 10 outings, while Stanley Iheanacho is pushing for a start after scoring off the bench in each of his last two appearances. Gogorza, Diao, and Junior Brumado remain sidelined.
Rijeka, meanwhile, eliminated Ilves in the third qualifying round and arrive with an impressive overall record, winning six of their last 10 matches. Their defensive numbers are particularly eye-catching, with just 0.60 goals conceded per game and six clean sheets in that period. However, their away form is a major concern, as Rijeka have won just 20% of their last 10 away matches and are averaging only 0.40 goals per game on the road. Teo Barisic remains in the recovery room.
Midjylland's advantage and Rijeka's poor away record give the hosts the edge. Therefore, our main prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Midtjylland or Draw and Under 3.5 goals total (Rijeka's defensive approach should keep the scoreline relatively tight).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 18:00.
