Real Sociedad Rijeka betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario is the victory of Real Sociedad and the existence of several goals. The Basque club should dominate and have the best chances to score, taking advantage of Rijeka's defensive weaknesses. On the other hand, the Croatian team come to this round with a great ambition to cause a surprise and thus should act in attack. Thus, we expect a very open game and with several goals, however, Real Sociedad should win the three points.
