Cup
Rijeka became the champion of Croatia over the weekend, defeating Slaven Belupo at home with 2:0. Now they have a chance for a double of trophies. Last season they lost the cup final, which is played over two legs with exchanged home and away matches. The first match between the two teams ended in a 1:1 draw and it really looks like Rijeka is much closer to the cup on the eve of the rematch.
Slaven Belupo finished in fifth place in the championship. They haven't been playing for anything for a long time and have been mainly preparing for this final. Slaven has never won the cup and has only been in the final twice, so now they have one of their rare opportunities to lift the trophy, although their task seems quite difficult.
Prediction: under 2.5 goals, victory for RijekaRijeka is logically the favorite for the trophy here, especially on their home turf. In the end, I believe they will win the cup, but again I do not expect more than two goals in the match.
