Rijeka and Austria Vienna clash on Thursday night in the fourth match of the Europa League groups, with both looking for the victory that will keep them "alive" in the qualifying case.
This is a pair of teams that, if nothing else, we knew quite well up close after the duels with Olympiakos and AEK respectively, with Rijeka in a slightly better position in terms of points, having passed the last game winner from Austria (1-3), forcing at the same time the Austrians in the imperative pursuit of victory if they want to maintain hopes of qualifying.
Despite this victorious passage of the last match, Rijeka does not seem to be in the best possible condition as it comes from 3 consecutive defeats in the championship, with the atmosphere in the team being quite heavy and its coach even declaring his resignation, which, however, did not happen. acceptable.
On the opposite bank, either Austria Vienna is going through exactly its best days, ignoring the victory in any of its official games in the last month, with an Achilles heel due to its bad defensive behavior, conceding goals very easily.
What interests us here is the odds set that is circulating, with Rijeka somewhere at 1,45 p.m. and Austria around 9,00. Of course, we do not know if the betting companies know anything more, but we consider this set to be illogical. Yes, Austria is a stubborn defense and unworthy of trust in general, however neither is Rijeka, yes, no big European beast to advance so much. We remind you that Rijeka has not won in 3 consecutive European games at home, having even suffered defeats by Olympiakos and AEK, and Austria, despite its problems, remains undefeated in three away games (we always refer to Europe), having scored twice in each one of them, with AE Limassol, Osijek (a team… Rijeka is chasing in the Croatian championship standings) and AEK finally.
So, having, among other things, a fairly recent double on Croatian soil in her luggage but also taking into account all the above, we think that at 9,02 of goalbet she deserves a… hangout for the victory of Austria Vienna.
