HNK Rijeka and Strasbourg might just treat us to the highlight of the RO16 in the Conference League. Strasbourg, who topped the table without a single defeat, now travel to an arena where Rijeka has won four straight games. Whose unbeaten run ends here, or are we in for a stalemate on Thursday? Let's get into our match prediction.
Strasbourg absolutely dominated the league phase, finishing with five wins and a draw in six games. Even outside the Conference League, Le Racing has been brilliant, having lost only two of 13 games since they played the final league phase game. However, some cracks have begun to form in Strasbourg in recent games. Their latest draw to Auxerre marked four of their last six games without a win, and also three straight winless away games.
For Rijeka, that's just music to their ears. Riječki bijeli, or Rijeka's Whites in English, enter this match off a four-game winning run, which was just capped with an away victory over Vukovar ‘91. But Rijeka has been even more impressive at home. Outside friendlies, Rijeka are now unbeaten in 15 straight games at home – a run which now puts them at 3rd place in the HNL.

HNK Rijeka - Strasbourg: Form Analysis
Interestingly, both Rijeka and Strasbourg have won almost the same number of points in the league this season.
After 25 games each, Rijeka has earned 38 points while Strasbourg have won 36 points. They've even won ten league games each.
Even their recent trend has been identical, with both teams tasting only two defeats in their last 16 games.
However, form-wise, it's Rijeka who enters redder and hotter. While Le Racing have only picked up two wins in their last six, Rijeka's Whites are on a four-game winning streak.
But if considering Conference League football alone, where both teams compete together, Strasbourg has been operating on another level.
The French side has won the last tournament four games and were only denied 6 of 6 wins by a stalemate with Jagiellonia. Rijeka's path to the RO16 was rockier, but they still only lost a single game and just thrashed Omonia Nicosia 4-1 on aggregate, winning both playoff games.

HNK Rijeka & Strasbourg Squad Analysis
Thankfully, for both teams, only a few rotational players are missing from the lineup, offering us a full-strength brawl on Thursday.
Rijeka are with an in-form Toni Fruk, their highest-goalscorer this season and the man with the joint third-most Conference League goals (4).
Fruk has also now scored in back-to-back games and netted four in his last four outings.
The Croatian will likely pair with Daniel Adu-Adjei up front, complementing his English partner, who also has four goals in this tournament and 4 G/A in his last five games.
But Strasbourg will also pose a massive goal threat to Rijeka, with Joaquin Panichelli getting back in form right on time for this match.
Joaquin is Ligue 1’s second-highest goalscorer this season (14), but has only netted one in this tournament (1). But after contributing 11 G/A in his last 12 outings, we might just be in for a Panichelli in Croatia.

Our HNK Rijeka vs Strasbourg Prediction
Despite topping the table without a defeat, Strasbourg conceded in five of their six tournament games, with both teams scoring in all five. And that's not just a Conference League trend. Across Le Racing’s last 14 games spanning three tournaments, both teams have scored in 12 games.
This indicates Strasbourg favours an offence-heavy style of play that opens up opportunities for the opposing team. And that team, in this case, is a Rijeka side that can't stop scoring at home. Hence, our HNK Rijeka vs Strasbourg prediction is BTTS.
