2nd Half Over 0.5 Goals

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Rijeka win or draw

Our top betting tip is Rijeka to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Rijeka, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see Rijeka losing to Osijek. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in Rijeka's ability to make home advantage count in this match.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Rijeka and Osijek given their lack of goalscoring ability.

That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.
