Rigas FS vs Linfield -Both Rigas FS and Linfield will have a fantastic opportunity to advance to the group stage of a European competition if they perform well in their next matches.
Within the following week, these two teams, neither of which has ever advanced past the group stage of any continental championship, will face each other twice during the course of the competition.
The first one is slated to take place on Thursday in Latvia, and it will be Rigas FS’s first time competing in the playoffs phase of a European championship.
Both sides were hoping to get beyond the other, so a draw was obviously the best possible outcome for them. However, the draw did not go according to plan.
Rigas FS is a heavy favourite in the opening leg of the competition, despite Linfield’s stronger recent results in European competitions.
After beating TNS in the first round of UEFA Champions League qualifiers, the Northern Irish champions lost to Bodo/Glimt (1-8 on aggregate) and Zurich (0-5 on aggregate) in the second and third qualifying rounds.
On the other hand, Rigas FS displayed some degree of quality by taking HJK to the point of needing penalties at the beginning of the Champions League qualification round.
After that, they competed against Hibernians of Malta in the third qualifying round for the Conference League, and they prevailed over them 4-2 overall by virtue of a 1-3 victory away from home in the second leg of the match.
