Rīgas FS vs FK Jablonec
📖 The Preview
Rīgas FS have a mountain to climb here but the numbers suggest they'll do exactly that. They lost the first leg 2-0 in Jablonec, so they need to win by two at home just to force extra time, and their recent form — eight wins from their last ten — shows a side more than capable of producing when it matters. Jablonec are no mugs and will defend deep, which explains why goals are expected to be tight, but Rīgas' home advantage and sheer desperation to stay in the tie should be enough to produce a 2-0 win and send this to extra time.
