Ilves Tampere vs HNK Rijeka Prediction (13.08.2026)

Ilves managed to escape with only a minimal loss to Croatia and keeps hopes for the rematch alive. At home, they have already defeated Stjarnan and Differdange, but now the obstacle is more serious. Still, Ilves has a reason to dream, as the deficit is not large, even though they are in the role of underdog. Moreover, they have not lost in ten consecutive home matches across all competitions.

After defeating Derry City twice with a score of 1:0, Rijeka has now beaten Ilves at home with the same result in their first meeting. It seems that this has become a favorite result for the team. Overall, they have been winning their matches in a similar fashion lately, without high scoring.

Ilves lost only 0:1 away. At home, it is generally normal for them to perform a little better, even though they are now coming out as underdogs. Still, I think the difference in the score may not be large again.
