Rijeka vs Ilves prediction
Rijeka began their European campaign with an unconvincing and hard-fought defeat of League of Ireland outfit Derry City in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League, winning both legs of that tie by a goal to nil.
Ilves Tampere come into this one on the back of a dramatic tie against Icelandic outfit Stjarnan. Ilves managed to squeeze past them on penalties in the second-leg after they had eased past Differdange 03 by three goals to one on aggregate in the previous round.
Ilves remain a fairly average team despite making it through two rounds but Rijeka can hardly be trusted to be dominant, even if the Croats remain favourites.
Rijeka vs Ilves tip: Rijeka to win & under 3.5 goals
