Half time. Dynamo Zagreb 2 Rijeka 3. A win would put Rijeka top of their league after 3 games.
Looks like Rijeka 3 2 up away to Zagreb. Drmic just put a beauty in the top corner from 20 yards.
I think this I going to be a real contest! Can’t wait for it
Will be a few goals we can't defend like we did todayQuote:

The second time round was actually a poor match in Croatia, looked like a 0-0 all the way, then a nothing handball penalty and a late second. We were dire at home, and Rijeka had an easy win - and yes, both teams levels had dropped a bit.
I only got to the game in 2015, but loved the stadium and where we stayed, Opatija. Croatia is a superb country - like the west coast of Scotland, with some Italian/some Balkan culture and sunshine.
Your club has class - AFC got this letter at the start of the Covid lockdown.

Looking in history of our clashes with them in Zagreb, one of the bravest game we played ever.
Our goalkeeper is responsible for two goals but in the same time he saved some really difficult shots. On the other side, we scored 3 fantastic goals, all of them in 90°.
Very satisfied with performance and effort.
Like us going to Celtic or Rangers and getting a draw. A good performance and result for you.Quote:

The quality of the Rijeka goals is superb excellent finishes.
Boyle, Allan, Nisbet and Doidge starting Thursday is a must. We need all our best attacking and creative players on the pitch for this one.
On the plus side though their defending was poor and keeper looks murder.
Rijeka scored 3 great goals but their goalkeeper looks terrible. Get Doidge on the pitch and get Boyle and Murphy putting balls in to the box and that keeper will struggle.
Where did you sign that goalkeeper from?Quote:

Šibenik, a club from our league.Quote:

As I already mentioned, when we play against Dinamo we are doing bunch of stupid things we usually do not. Yesterday's game was not the exception, only difference is we gave 3 goals we usually do not.

Ok, just watched whole game against Motherwell.
I have to admit that You are right, when I spoke about Scottish style of play, I would say that Motherwell is more like it. Hibs are playing more like some club from continent, actually we are not much different regarding style of play.
Nisbet is absolutely class and this Boyle is really pain in the ass for defenders.
But Your defence gives me hope. You are talking about mistakes of our goalkeeper against Dinamo and Macey is, based on this game, not the best goalkeeper around. Also, You are leaving lot of space between midfield and defence, take a look at our goals against Dinamo yesterday, this is what we like.
I expect that both coaches will choose more conservative approach. We will most likely play some version of 3-5-2, do not expect that we will star with two central defenders.
I also do not know who will be able to play from our side, Muric is sidelined for three last games, I expect that he will be back against Hibs which will definitely make our attack more dangerous.
But either way, I expect 2 good games and plenty of goals.
I wouldn't be so sure. Watch the highlights below of our last ECL game against St Coloma.Quote:
