Preview

Match preview

Vrbovec host HNK Rijeka in the Round of 32 of the Croatian Cup. The home side earned their place in this round with a 4-1 victory over Daruvar in late August, but they now face a major step up in opposition.

HNK Rijeka enter this tie in sharp attacking form after securing a 4-1 win over NK Osijek in their latest outing. The visitors have regularly competed at a higher competitive level across their recent schedule, which includes encounters against Istra 1961, HNK Gorica, and European competition against FC Midtjylland.

The gulf in pedigree and calibre between the two squads gives the visiting side a decisive advantage as they seek progression to the next round.
