Gorica comes into this encounter having secured two victories in their last five matches, indicating a moderate form that they will hope to improve upon in front of their home fans. However, the home side may need to enhance their defensive organization if they are to challenge Rijeka effectively.

HNK Rijeka, on the other hand, is in impressive form, boasting four wins out of their last five matches. Their recent success stems from a balanced tactical approach, combining fluid attacking movements with a solid defensive structure.
