HNK Vukovar 1991 vs Rijeka: match statistics
Rijeka presents significantly better form in the last five matches, earning 12 points (4 wins) compared to just 5 points for HNK Vukovar 1991 (1 win, 2 draws). The hosts sit in 10th place with a goal difference of -17 for the season, while Rijeka ranks 3rd, confirming a clear quality difference between the teams. Although Rijeka has a weaker away record (18% wins), HNK Vukovar has very low efficiency in home matches with 36% wins and a staggering 45% draw rate. Rijeka controls the game better, averaging 51% possession away against 44% for the hosts at home, which, combined with their current streak of three consecutive wins, gives the visitors the edge. Taking all statistics into account, I expect a difficult match for the hosts with a slight advantage for Rijeka, though a draw is also probable given the visitors' weaker away efficiency.
