About FC Shakhtar Donetsk vs HNK Rijeka

The upcoming Europa Conference League match is scheduled for December 18, 2025, featuring FC Shakhtar Donetsk, known for their Ukrainian roots and Brazilian flair, against HNK Rijeka, the hardworking Croatian club famed for their dynamic play. This much-anticipated clash will take place at the intimate Estadio Henryk Reyman in Krakow, which holds just 15,000 spectators, promising an intense viewing atmosphere.

Shakhtar comes into this fixture recalling their recent success on Polish soil, notably their 2-0 victory over LNZ Cherkasy at the Polish National Football Stadium in October, witnessed by 8,000 passionate fans. Due to geopolitical constraints, Shakhtar has adapted by staging its home European matches outside Ukraine, with Estadio Henryk Reyman stepping in for their original home at Donetsk's Donbass Arena.

HNK Rijeka currently stands second in their domestic Croatian league after an impressive finish last season. A limited number of fans will have the privilege of experiencing this high-stakes game live, while millions will tune in via broadcast to witness the drama.

FC Shakhtar Donetsk vs HNK Rijeka Rivalry History

Although these teams do not share a long-standing rivalry, their recent competitive meetings have been marked by tactical intensity and closely contested drama. Shakhtar dominates the head-to-head results with wins in their initial meetings, yet each game has been a testament to the competitive spirit and tactical discipline of both sides.

Memorable Matches

The two clubs previously met in a thrilling September 2024 encounter in Poland, where Shakhtar edged out a 1-0 win through a spectacular curling free-kick by their Number 10 in the 71st minute. This match was characterized by an enthusiastic crowd largely made up of Polish fans, reflecting sympathies evenly divided between Ukrainians and Croatians.

Shakhtar's style of technical football, blending Brazilian influence and Ukrainian grit, contrasts with Rijeka's resilience and strategic defensive organization under the guidance of manager Damir Milanović. Rijeka's effectiveness in set-piece situations, accounting for nearly half their Europa League goals this season, presents a tactical challenge that Shakhtar must overcome.

Players who represented both clubs

Marko Pjaca, a notable player who developed through Rijeka's youth system before honing his skills at Shakhtar from 2014 and later returning on loan to Rijeka to help secure a domestic cup, exemplifies the connection between these clubs. His journey adds a compelling human element to this fixture.
