This 2025–26 UEFA Europa Conference League Knockout Round Play-offs first leg will see Cypriot giants Omonia Nicosia play host to Rijeka on Thursday. The Queen rounded off their league-phase campaign at 18th in the standings with eight points, one below Rijeka at 16th. Check out our prediction for the match below.
Omonia ended their 2025–26 UEFA Europa Conference League league-phase campaign on a disappointing note, losing 1–0 at home to second-placed Rakow. However, an even 2–2–2 record was enough to secure their place in the Knockout Round Play-offs..
They have won nine of their 10 subsequent fixtures in regulation (D1) across all competitions after the Rakow loss, including a 3–0 victory over Paralimni in the Cyprus League last week. However, all of their six UECL league-phase matches this season ended with under 2.5 goals.
Rijeka put up a strong showing in their final 2025–26 UECL league-phase match, holding sixth-placed Shakhtar Donetsk to a goalless draw on the road. They have only lost once across their six matches in the competition, winning two and drawing three.
Notably, the Croatian champions’ defeated Varazdin 3–1 in their domestic league fixture at the weekend, but their UECL matches this season have been mostly low-scoring affairs. Five of those fixtures have produced no more than two goals.
