Rijeka vs Hajduk Prediction 20 September 2026
🔊 Hajduk have gone unbeaten for a month and a half and are looking to head into a three-week break on a run of 12 games without defeat. But the trip is a difficult one - they travel to Rijeka, who sit in the top three by points dropped in the HNL. One important factor is Rijeka's record of high-scoring home matches.
