HNK Rijeka host FC Midtjylland in the return leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League tie, aiming to overturn a 2-0 deficit sustained in Denmark on August 20. Rijeka responded domestically with a 3-2 home victory against Istra 1961, maintaining a record of zero goals conceded in their recorded home campaign statistics prior to that match.
FC Midtjylland arrive in Croatia carrying strong momentum and a multi-goal cushion. The Danish side have remained unbeaten across their last five competitive outings, picking up four victories—including a 2-0 aggregate lead over Rijeka and a 1-0 win against Randers FC. Despite dealing with several absences including O. Diao, M. Gogorza, and Junior Brumado due to injuries, Midtjylland have maintained defensive discipline, conceding only two goals across their three recorded tournament matches.
Team news unavailable for this fixture.
Combined scoring rate: 4.7 goals per game (HNK Rijeka at home plus FC Midtjylland away).

Based on at least 20 settled predictions.Midtjylland's two-goal cushion allows them to prioritize defensive structure away from home, having kept clean sheets in both the first leg (2-0) and their previous European away trip (2-0 at Bohemians). Rijeka conceded an average of 0.6 goals per game in recorded tournament play, suggesting a tightly contested, controlled fixture.
FC Midtjylland established clear control with a 2-0 victory in the first leg and enter this fixture having won four of their last five matches across all competitions. Rijeka have suffered two defeats in their last four matches, both by 2-0 scorelines. Backing the visitors to avoid defeat aligns well with their current form and aggregate advantage.
