Betting Predictions
Under 2.5 Goals: 87.90
Given the defensive capabilities of Osijek and the disciplined nature of their play, combined with Rijeka’s need to sometimes focus on defensive solidity to counter Osijek’s strategy, a low-scoring game seems likely. The odds of 87.90 for Under 2.5 Goals suggest that bookmakers anticipate a tightly contested match with limited scoring opportunities.
Over 1.5 Goals: 76.80
Despite the defensive prospects, Rijeka’s attacking line-up and Osijek’s occasional lapses in defense make Over 1.5 Goals a viable option. With odds at 76.80, this prediction accounts for the potential for at least one team to capitalize on scoring opportunities during the match.
Both Teams Not to Score: 62.00
The Both Teams Not to Score option reflects the likelihood of a tightly managed game where neither side finds the back of the net. With odds at 62.00, this bet is attractive for those anticipating a strategic battle with a strong emphasis on defense over attack.
