Strasbourg expected to see tie out in controlled manner

Strasbourg return home with a 2-1 advantage over Rijeka after a lively first leg, putting the French side in a strong position to progress.

That opening encounter was full of action, but Strasbourg did enough to edge it and now have the benefit of home advantage. They have been particularly strong at the Stade de la Meinau, losing just one of their last ten matches, which further boosts confidence heading into this second leg.

Rijeka will need to chase the game at some point, but overturning the deficit away from home looks a tough task. Strasbourg are likely to adopt a more controlled approach, managing the tempo and controlling possession as they look to protect their lead.

With their solid home record and the cushion from the first leg, Strasbourg should be able to see this tie out without too much drama. A professional performance could be enough, and a 1-0 home win looks a likely outcome as they comfortably secure progression to the next round.
