Rijeka host Celje in a clash that promises intensity and goals, with our prediction pointing towards a 2-1 home win. The hosts are missing Kreilach and Skoric through injury, but their absence is unlikely to disrupt Rijeka’s flow. Rijeka’s home form is impressive, earning 2.6 points per game while scoring 2.6 goals on average and conceding just 0.6. Their attack has been reliable, with both teams finding the net in only 40% of recent home fixtures, but away teams often exploit defensive lapses.
Celje arrive without Darko Hrka and Mark Zabukovnik, but their attacking and defensive balance remains solid. The Slovenians score 1.6 goals per away game and have kept clean sheets in 40% of matches. With Rijeka’s high-tempo style and Celje’s counter-attacking threat, this game looks set for action in both boxes. Historical rivalry between Croatian and Slovenian sides also adds a physical edge, suggesting cards could be plentiful.
As Ex-Yugoslav rivalry is likely to produce a heated encounter, Over 3.5 Yellow Cards is our main betting tip, alongside Home Win and Over 2.5 goals.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 11 December 2025 at 20:00.
