Dinamo Zagreb and HNK Rijeka will play their postponed HNL Round 2 match on Thursday, December 3, with a 6:00 PM kick-off at the Rujevica stadium. This will be the second meeting between the sides this season, after the original date was moved due to both clubs' European commitments.
At the time, Dinamo was between two matches against Kauno Žalgiris in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, while Rijeka had a UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier against Ilves. The first league encounter of this season is already scheduled for October 24 at Maksimir, as part of Round 11. The last meeting between the teams was the Croatian Cup final on May 13 in Osijek, where Dinamo won 2:0 to secure the domestic double.
GNK Dinamo Zagreb currently sits top of the HNL table with 16 points from seven games. Their recent form reads three wins, one draw, and one defeat from the last five matches. The team's next challenge is an away fixture against second-placed Hajduk Split on October 10, a key test in the title race.
The December match against Rijeka will be important for maintaining the lead at the top of the league.
