Rijeka vs Hibs: TV channel, live stream, referee and score prediction

It's crunch time in the Europa Conference League and Hibs have every chance of making the final play-off round for a crack at the group stages.

Jack Ross has a job on his hands however to rock up in Croatia on Thursday night to come away with in win.

In truth the tie could have been out of sight going into this second leg.

The chances Hibs passed up were plentiful in supply and Daniel MacKay's missed effort at the death is a particular regret.

But there's no time to dwell on any of that as the games come thick and fast and they'll hope sharpshooter Kevin Nisbet has sufficiently recovered from a dead leg.

A clash with Irish side Bohemians or PAOK of Greece awaits the winner of this one and here's everything you need to know.

When is kick-off?

The match takes place at Stadion Rujevica in Rijeka, Croatia on Thursday, 12 August.

Kick-off is at 7pm UK time.

Who is the referee?

It's a squad of Lithuanian officials for this one.

Donatas Rumsas is in the middle. He's assisted by Aleksandr Radius and Dovydas Suziedelis, while the fourth official is Donatas Simenas.

Expect plenty of cards – in the six UEFA games he took charge of last term, only one finished with under four bookings, and that was Belgium's 8-0 procession against Belarus.

Is it on TV?

Yes. It was a blackout for the first leg but luckily you can watch the action from Croatia on Premier Sports 1.

Coverage starts just before kick-off, at 6.55pm.

Will there be a live stream?

Yes. The Premier Player app and website means subscribers can watch the action on any device.

Prediction

Hibs dominated the first leg and couldn't take their many chances but things may look more even over in Rijeka.

This one could wind up the same way as the first leg – with emotions put through the wringer by way of a penalty shootout.
