Rijeka vs Vukovar Prediction & Betting Tips

Rijeka vs Vukovar Match Preview

Rijeka return home in strong scoring form and with momentum after putting five past Hajduk Split in their last outing at Rujevica. Their home displays this season have featured goals and assertive starts, which should shape the tempo again.

Vukovar arrive with a run of draws and defeats, yet they have shown resilience in several recent matches. The reverse fixture ended 3-2 to Vukovar, so this meeting carries extra intrigue.

Rijeka’s Home Strength Suggests Control

Rijeka have turned Rujevica into a reliable platform with big home wins including 5-0 against Hajduk Split and 4-2 versus Osijek. Even in tighter moments, such as the 1-1 draw with Lokomotiva Zagreb, they managed to sustain pressure and create chances. Their attack has hit at least four goals in two of the last three home games, showing the potency the hosts bring when they find rhythm.

Their only home stumble across these fixtures was a 0-0 against Istra, but overall the pattern points to volume and confidence in the final third. Rijeka also tend to respond well after setbacks, which adds to the strong position they hold coming into this match.

Vukovar Searching for Stability

Vukovar’s overall form is streaky, with four draws and two defeats in their last six league games. They remain competitive at home, as seen in their 2-2 draw with Osijek, but their away record raises concern. Heavy defeats at Slaven Belupo and Osijek plus narrow losses at Varazdin and Istra underline their difficulties on the road.

There is resilience in their game though, highlighted by three straight 1-1 draws in October and November. Yet their inability to close out matches or protect leads continues to cost them points.

Rijeka vs Vukovar Prediction

The best bet is Rijeka to win & both teams to score at 3.40 odds. Rijeka’s vibrant home attack offers strong upside, and Vukovar’s recent habit of finding at least one goal in many of their games keeps the both teams to score element realistic. The visitors’ defensive record away from home suggests they will struggle to contain Rijeka’s pressure.

A goal-heavy match fits the second tip of over 3.5 goals at 3.00 odds. Rijeka have recently produced scorelines that clear that mark comfortably, while Vukovar often play in open contests where structure slips late on.

For those targeting a bold outcome, the final tip Rijeka 4-1 at 21.00 odds aligns with Rijeka’s high-scoring home profile and Vukovar’s away vulnerabilities, though it sits as a high-risk selection compared to the main pick.
