Rijeka is determined to maintain the positive trend that was built since last month by winning the 1961 NK Istra counter-duel this weekend. The duel at the HNK Stadium was held on Saturday (2/3) midnight as the first task of the month.

Rijeka received defeat in the opening game last month, but won 2 wins and 1 draw in the next task. In fact, the final exam was closed with a 2-4 party at Rudes headquarters even though the children were left behind quickly at 15 minutes.

Rijeka must be vigilant because they failed to win 2 home games at that time, namely a 1-3 defeat of HNK Gorica, then held to a 0-0 draw by Hajduk Split. So, tomorrow is an opportunity to make amends.

Yes, Istra is a suitable opponent for Rijeka because the club has never won last month with 2 draws and 2 defeats. In fact, they can only score one goal, which is when they host Slaven as the host, while 2 away surrender 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb and Osijek.

The crisis threw Istra just above the position of caretaker, while Rijeka who was in second place tried to move away from Osijek’s threat below him by 1 point. The last game last November was secured by Rijeka with a score of 1-2 to win 4 wins, 1 draw, and only lost 1 time from Osijek since mid-2017.

Our Prediction: 1

Odds: 1.25
