Elfsborg may not have secured a victory in the first leg against Rijeka in Croatia, but they can take solace in the 1-1 draw, particularly given the flow of the match. The team made an assertive start, taking the lead in the 24th minute. However, they concluded the first half in a less than ideal manner, conceding an equalizer in the 45+2 minute. The situation deteriorated further in the 56th minute when Abdullai was sent off, compelling them to adopt a more defensive posture, retreating into their own third to preserve the draw. In their most recent league fixture, Elfsborg triumphed 2-1 at home against GAIS. However, they will face Rijeka without the services of Baldursson (15/0) and Abdullai (14/4), both of whom are suspended.
Rijeka has experienced significant upheaval in recent days. On Tuesday, head coach Sopić was dismissed without much explanation, and his role has now been assumed by former assistant Đalović, who will lead the team in today's match. The result of the first leg left Rijeka unsatisfied, particularly as they played with a numerical advantage for the entire second half, yet delivered an underwhelming performance. This lackluster display was mirrored in their weekend league match, which ended in a goalless draw against Varaždin. Despite fielding a side largely consistent with their European lineup, Rijeka's efforts fell short of expectations.
Elfsborg enters this encounter in excellent form, having suffered only one defeat in their last 10 matches across all competitions, and coming off a 2-1 league victory over GAIS. Conversely, Rijeka appears to be struggling to find their rhythm, making their task in today's match challenging.
