Rijeka vs Istra Soccer Prediction

Details:

Rijeka is in fourth place in the HNL standings with 3 points after 2 games played.

Rijeka got off to a great start with a 4-0 win against Rudeš. This was followed by a 1-0 victory in Pristina against Dukagjini in the first match of the quarter-finals of the Conference League.

The 1-0 defeat against Hajduk was something that could be overcome, especially after Dukagjini was defeated again with 6-1 in Rijeka.

Istria has had a difficult start to the season, although it is in eighth place in the standings with only one point won in the first two games.

They started with a 1-1 draw against Lokomotiv Zagreb, followed by a 3-0 home defeat against Dinamo.

Key facts

• Rijeka won 2 of the last 5 against Istra with 2 draws and 1 loss
• Rijeka has allowed only one goal in the last five games
• 5 of the last 6 games between these two teams have ended under 2.5 goals

Rijeka is playing well at the beginning of the new HNL season, but the condensed schedule will definitely have its influence on the game on Sunday. Istria won only one point after the first two rounds, which is not so disappointing considering the opponents. There is no doubt that Rijeka is the favorite in this match, as the odds show, but it will not be easy for the hosts to win. Istra will be able to defend themselves in this match so I recommend placing a bet on double chance on Rijeka and under 3.5 total goals.
