After sharing the spoils with Hunedoara at Stadionul Municipal, Rijeka will be aiming to book their spot in the Europa League third qualifying round when they face the Romanians at their Stadion HNK Rijeka. The Rijecki Bijeli are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but Thursday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Zeljko Sopic’s troops. Summer signing Ante Majstorovic is pushing for his first Rijeka start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The White and Blues, on the other hand, produced a fine display in the first leg, but seeing that Rijeka have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Romania empty-handed. Hunedoara forward Sergiu Bus must be cautious this time out as the 31-year-old is only one yellow card away from suspension.
