Short Preview
As HNK Rijeka prepares to host Derry City in the UEFA Europa Conference League on July 23, 2026, the match promises to showcase a significant contrast in recent form. Rijeka enters the fixture with impressive momentum, having secured victories in all of their last four matches. This strong run highlights their tactical prowess and ability to capitalize on offensive opportunities, making them a formidable contender on home turf.
In contrast, Derry City faces a challenging situation, having managed to win only 1 of their last 5 matches.

The bookmakers have placed Rijeka as clear favorites, with odds of 1.14 for a home win against Derry City’s lengthy odds of 19.46.
Tactically, Rijeka’s ability to maintain possession and create scoring chances will be pivotal, while Derry City will need to focus on strengthening their defense and finding a way to counterattack effectively. Given the current form and odds, Rijeka is well-positioned for a strong performance, yet in football, surprises are always possible, and Derry City will be eager to prove the odds wrong.
