**Rijeka's cruising into round 3, and they're home to make it hurt.** 🔴 The Croats have picked off Conference League stragglers with ease; now they host a Finns side that just got schooled by AC Oulu.

Both teams have pace going forward, but Rijeka's domestic form is a different beast — four wins in their last five shows a team firing on all cylinders. Ilves can't say the same after that 1-0 loss away.

Key storylines:

- **Rijeka's attacking depth** vs a **Ilves** backline still finding its feet in Europe
- **D. Čop and D. Adu-Adjei** will be looking to run the channels relentlessly against an unfamiliar three-at-the-back shape
- Road form is Ilves' weak spot — they've dropped points on their travels already

Expected lineups:

- **HNK Rijeka**: A. Todorović, A. Majstorović, M. Devetak, A. Husić, A. Gojak, T. Dantas, A. M. Jurić, D. Adu-Adjei, D. Čop
- **Ilves**: F. Krkalić, O. Pettersson, V. Kumpu, M. Rale, J. Kilo, R. Riski, T. Hytönen, H. Coulibaly

Prediction:

**Rijeka 2-0 Ilves** — Rijeka's momentum at home is too strong; expect a clinical performance. 🎯
