Midtjylland vs Rijeka: prediction & betting odds 20 August 2026

Published: 18 August 2026 22:03

The first match of the UEFA Conference League qualifying play-off round is scheduled for 20 August 2026 at 13:00 EDT / 10:00 PDT, with Midtjylland hosting Rijeka at the MCH Arena in Herning.

Midtjylland continued their European campaign in the UEFA Conference League after being knocked out of Europa League qualifying, while Rijeka have also come through the previous qualifying stages. At home, the Danish club will try to take the initiative and build an advantage before the return leg, but the Croatian side will almost certainly focus on organised defending and try to keep their chances of reaching the next round alive.
