Rijeka faces Midtjylland in Conference League play-off

HNK Rijeka is preparing to face Danish side FC Midtjylland in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League play-off qualifiers. The match is scheduled to take place in Denmark, with the return leg following in Croatia.

Rijeka coach Matjaž Kek and assistant Ante Majstorović have acknowledged the high quality of their opponents, noting Midtjylland's physical strength and European experience. The team is looking to build on previous successful European qualifying rounds to secure a place in the league phase of the tournament.

Amidst the preparations, Hajduk Split supporters (Torcida) have also issued a call for unity ahead of their own critical European fixture against Raków Częstochowa. Meanwhile, Rijeka players have arrived in Denmark despite minor travel delays, aiming to overcome the challenge of playing on a different pitch after a recent domestic setback.
