Conference LeagueLille OSC - Rijeka - Source: Getty — Rijeka and Corvinul lock horns in the Europa League on Wednesday.

Rijeka and Corvinul Hunedoara lock horns in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round on Thursday (August 1). With last week’s first-leg ending all square, a place in the third round is up for grabs at the Stadion Rujevica.

Rijeka were guilty of a lack of cutting edge in front of goal, as they were held to a goalless draw by Corvinul Hunedoara in the first leg at the Sibiu Municipal Stadium.

Zeljko Sopic’s men are winless in four matches, losing twice in their final three games in pre-season. Rijeka will back themselves to get the job done at home, as they ramp up preparations for the 2024-25 Croatian HNL campaign.

Meanwhile, Corvinul have won once in four matches across competitions to start the season, losing twice. Their stuttering start to the campaign saw Florin Maxim’s men suffer defeat in the Romanian Super Cup, where they were thrashed 3-0 by FCSB in the final on July 4.

Corvinul have won only once in their last 11 away games across competitions.
