Rijeka - FC Midtjylland
Last updated: Today, at Rijeka host FC Midtjylland in Conference League final return
Rijeka and FC Midtjylland meet on 27 August 2026 at Stadion Rujevica for the second leg of their Conference League qualification final. Rijeka navigated a challenging path to this stage, overcoming Derry City and Ilves in previous rounds before finding their domestic footing with a 3-2 victory over NK Istra 1961 last weekend. Meanwhile, FC Midtjylland arrive in Croatia carrying momentum from their recent Superligaen win against Randers FC, having successfully balanced their European commitments alongside a consistent run of domestic performances throughout August.
The visitors hold a 2-0 advantage from the first leg played on 20 August 2026, putting them in a strong position as they look to secure their place in the competition proper. Rijeka will need to overturn that deficit on home soil to keep their European campaign alive. This decisive encounter will determine which side advances from this final qualifying tie, with the pressure firmly on the hosts to break down a resilient away defense.
