Despite Rijeka's unbeaten run and defensive resilience, Ilves' home scoring form and ability to control attacking phases suggest they may edge this encounter. Level after 90 minutes and Fipster expects extra time to settle nothing either — this one has penalty shootout written all over it, with Ilves tipped to hold their nerve from the spot. The graded markets reflect the score at the end of extra time, and any penalty-shootout call is a who-goes-through tip, not a scored prediction.
