Last time out, Gorica drew 0-0 in the Prva Liga tie with Šibenik.

In that match, Gorica managed 38% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Sibenik got 15 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target.

A succession of resolute displays from the Gorica defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their past 6 outings in total. Over that same period, their forwards have scored 6. We will just have to find out if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Looking at their past form shows that Gorica:

• are winless against Rijeka when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 league matches. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• are unbeaten in their previous 4 away league matches.

↔️ Head to head

Looking over past results between these clubs going back to 24/01/2024 tells us that these fixtures have ended in disappointment for Gorica. They’ve not managed to come away with any wins whatsoever while Rijeka have managed to find a way, winning in 83% of those ties.

In all, 12 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 10 of them from Riječki bijeli and 2 coming from Gorica. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.

The last league fixture between these clubs was Prva Liga match day 24 on 01/03/2025 when it ended Gorica 0-0 Rijeka.

That time, Gorica had 51% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 1 on target.

Rijeka had 11 attempts at goal with 0 on target.

The referee was Ante Čulina.

💡 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Rijeka will, in all likelihood, be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the same time, Gorica will be up against it to score themselves although we do reckon that they could well end up converting at least once as well.

We’re therefore anticipating a decent 3-1 winning margin for Rijeka at the end of the match.
