Match preview: Shelbourne vs Rijeka

Shelbourne and Rijeka go head-to-head at Tolka Park in the second leg of this European League qualification round, following a 1-2 defeat for Rijeka in the first leg. The differing home and away form of both teams is significant and must be taken into account.

Team analysis: Shelbourne

This team has surprisingly performed better away than at home, recording 5 wins, 7 draws, and 3 losses as visitors over the last 30 matches, compared to 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses at home. In their latest Premier League fixture, they drew 2-2 with Bohemians. Their last 10 home matches show 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses. Shelbourne has struggled defensively, conceding in 7 of their last 10 matches, but they have managed to score in 8 of the same games. Of particular note is that they conceded 7 out of their 20 goals in the opening quarter of games.

Shelbourne approaches this match following a 2-2 draw against Bohemians in their last Irish Championship match. In the first leg of the European League, they defeated Rijeka 1-2. Tactically, the Irish side employs a dynamic 4-3-3 formation, focusing on quick transitions and fluid ball movement. Their attack features a mobile trio of Mipo Odubeko, Kerr Mcinroy, and John Martin, who adeptly exploit spaces. Harry Wood plays a crucial role in orchestrating play in midfield, serving as the link between defence and attack. All players are available for this match.

Team analysis: Rijeka

Rijeka tends to perform better on home soil, recording 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses away in their last 30 matches, in contrast to 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses at home. The team comes into this match on the back of a 0-0 draw against Osijek. Over the last 10 matches across all competitions, Rijeka has achieved 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses. Despite scoring regularly in 7 of those 10 matches, they tend to have fewer goals when playing away, with 11 of their last 27 matches finishing with fewer than 1.5 goals.

Rijeka arrives at this encounter following a scoreless draw away against Osijek in the Croatian Championship. In their earlier European League meeting, they suffered a 1-2 defeat. The Croatian team is expected to employ a 4-3-3 system, taking a more defensive stance to disrupt the opposition’s attacking play.
