Ilves vs RijekaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Ilves host Rijeka at the Tammelan Stadion in Tampere after a 1-0 defeat in Croatia, settled by Jankovic on 16 minutes in front of 5,268 spectators. The Finns need at least one goal to reopen the tie. A slim margin to defend Rijeka built their lead inside the opening quarter of an hour and then managed the game without ever putting it to bed. A single goal of margin means the Croats must stay alert in Finland, where Matjaz Kek's side cannot afford to sit deep. Two teams that have to commit Ilves must score, and Rijeka lack the cushion to simply defend. In returns with this kind of margin, games tend to produce more chances than the first leg did. The verdict: two total goals rest on concrete support The scenario asks for at least two goals. The Finns' attacking obligation and the Croats' need to avoid conceding first push toward an open game. I read it around 70%. My take: Ilves attacking, Rijeka dangerous on the break.
