A place in the Conference League league stages will be at stake when Rijeka and Midtjylland lock horns in the decisive return leg at Stadion Rujevica. Rijeka face a difficult task after suffering a 2-0 defeat in Denmark, with the Croatian side producing only 0.31 xG and registering just one shot on target. Still, the Rijecki Bijeli have been excellent at home lately, winning all five of their last home matches while scoring 12 goals and conceding just three. Their home xG of 2.50 over the last 10 games also suggests they should create more chances this time around.
Midtjylland, meanwhile, have one foot in the next round after a dominant first-leg display. The Danish outfit registered 10 shots on target and enjoyed 60% possession, while their overall form remains impressive, with seven wins in their last 10 matches. Midtjylland have also scored 2.40 goals per game away from home during that period. Sofus Johannesen is widely expected to return to the starting XI after producing a couple of excellent displays of late.
Rijeka's outstanding home record makes them capable of winning the second leg, even if overturning the deficit is another matter. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Rijeka Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Rijeka need to attack from the start, while Midtjylland have scored 2.40 goals per away game in their last 10).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 27 August 2026 at 19:45.
