The odds clearly favor Strasbourg with 70.4% probability of victory, which is the strongest signal for analysis. The French club plays at home in the Conference League where they have significant advantage. Strasbourg shows solid form with an average of 2.3 goals per match, including convincing victories 5-0 against Angers and 3-0 against Auxerre. Their attacking potential is evident with 30 big chances at home. Rijeka comes with mixed form but shows defensive stability with an average of only 1.2 goals conceded. However, their attacking output of 1.7 goals per match might be insufficient against the home favorites. H2H data shows Strasbourg won 2-1 in the first meeting, further supporting their advantage. Injuries to key Strasbourg players (Emegha, Doué) may affect their attack, but squad depth should be sufficient. Rijeka has their own injury problems (Vignato, Barišić) which further complicates their task. BTTS odds are balanced at 1.83, suggesting both teams can score, especially given Strasbourg's attacking strength and Rijeka's ability to score away. Over 2.5 goals looks likely considering Strasbourg's goal average and expected open match.
