It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the Rijeka gaffer Fausto Budicin to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Matej Mitrovic (Torn Muscle Fibre) won’t play.

Thanks to a completely injury-free squad ready to go, the Gorica boss Samir Toplak has no fitness concerns to report coming into this match. Edin Julardzija is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

In our view, Rijeka should be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
