HNK Rijeka travel to Koprivnica for an 8th round HNL match against Slaven Belupo. The game will be played on Sunday, October 11th, at the Gradski stadion Ivan Kusek Apas with a 6 PM kick-off.
Rijeka arrive following a home loss to Union Berlin in Europe, but with a very strong run in the domestic league. In their last five HNL matches, they have recorded three wins, one draw, and one defeat. They currently sit fifth in the table with 14 points from seven games, just two points behind leaders Dinamo Zagreb. Their top scorer this season is Daniel Adu Adjei with four goals.
The opponent, Slaven Belupo, is in eighth place and has had a difficult start to the season. In their last five outings, they have managed just one win, along with two draws and two losses. The last meeting between the sides, in April at Rujevica, ended in a 2-0 victory for Rijeka.
For Rijeka, this is a chance to continue their good HNL form and stay in touch at the top of the table. After this away fixture, the team returns to Rujevica.
