Rijeka vs Lille Prediction: Will it be hard for the French team?

Prediction for the UEFA Conference League match which will take place on August 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Croatian club was lucky with the draw, and before the meeting with Lille, they had passed the modest Dukagjini from Kosovo and Faroese B36 Torshavn in the Conference League. However, in the first game against the French, Rijeka showed that it was not only about a lucky draw. In Lille, the Croatians opened the scoring thanks to Mario Pasalic's efforts and conceded a second goal only in the 89th minute. A draw would have been the best outcome, but a one-goal defeat leaves Rijeka with a chance to qualify for the next stage.

In the Croatian championship, Rijeka lost to Dinamo Zagreb (1:2) in the previous round but has won three times in just five rounds, scoring 13 goals in that stretch.

The teams of Paulo Fonseca have always been notable for not being the most confident game in defense, and Lille is no exception. In the new season, they conceded in three out of four matches, barely beat Rijeka in the first game, and in the previous round of the French league, they lost 1:4 away from Lorient, conceding four times by the 67th minute of the game. It should be noted that, apart from this match, in the French Ligue 1, Lille beat Nantes (2:0) and drew away with Nice (1:1).

Given Lille's attacking style and defensive shortcomings, we can expect a repeat of the high-scoring match in the upcoming game. On their home field, Rijeka acts confidently and scores almost always, while Lille is sure to score even just because of the class of their players. We bet on the exchange of goals and high performance and do not bet on finding a favorite in this pair. As it seems, there are good chances for a sensation to happen.
