Rijeka vs Shelbourne Prediction – European League

The visiting team also plays their first match in this edition of the European League, aiming to secure a positive result on the road. This squad is minimally impacted by the home advantage, as they’ve achieved similar outcomes at home and away; in the last 30 matches, they logged 4 wins, 8 draws, and 3 losses away from home, scoring 19 goals while conceding 15. At home, they have 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, having netted 18 goals and conceded 17. Their latest match was a 0-2 victory against Sligo Rovers in the Premier League. In their last 10 away matches, Shelbourne has recorded 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. While their defensive solidity has been a concern, conceding goals in 7 of their last 10 games, their attack has been effective, scoring in 7 out of those 10 matches. Out of 15 matches, they have only turned the score in 1 of the 6 games where they conceded first. One notable trend is that they have conceded 6 of their 15 goals during the minutes between 31 and 45.

Shelbourne arrives at this match motivated after a 0-2 triumph. They recently played against Sligo Stadium in a match related to the Ireland Championship. The Irish club is expected to set up in a 4-3-3 formation, aiming to exploit the flanks for attacking opportunities. The main offensive trio will include Mipo Odubeko, John Martin, and Kerr Mcinroy, focusing their attack down the right flank and utilising the pace and depth of Lewis Temple to create chances. The only absence for this match is Coote, who is suspended.
