Rijeka vs Real Sociedad prediction comes ahead of the Europa League 1st round as Rijeka will be taking Real Sociedad at the Stadion HNK Rijeka on Thursdaz. Let’s take a look at the match preview as we try to provide the best betting tips and correct score prediction for this tie.

Rijeka vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips

Rijeka is one of the teams in Croatia that is developing more and more from year to year and they show that they are one of the strongest teams in the Balkans. They managed to reach the group stage of the Europa League by beating Copenhagen in a playoff match on the away field with 1-0. It was certainly a surprise because the Danish team was the favorite on paper but bearing in mind that Rijeka has overall very talented players, not so big indeed. They are coming off not so well performance in the Croatian football league but they won in the end 2-1 against Varazdin. It seems to me that they were already in mind in this match.

Real Sociedad collected 11 points in 6 games of the Primera Division, as did Villarreal, but the Basque team has a better goal difference. This team is in great shape. In the last two matches, they have won 3-0 against very good teams such as Betis and Getafe, without several players in the team who are injured, such as Illaramendi, Merquelanz, Sangalli ... This confirms the quality of the team and there is no doubt about it. I believe that their ambitions in this European competition are quite big.

Rijeka vs Real Sociedad Correct Score Predictions

The Croatian representative enters this competition with great motivation, but we need to look realistically and say which team is better at the moment. It is definitely a team from the Basque Country. Napoli and AZ Alkmaar are also in this group, so Sociedad needs points to advance to the next stage in matches like this one. It will probably be difficult in the beginning, but one goal can break the match and that is all that the guests need. Quick goal. I think a good solution is to try here with a 0-2 away win
