Fotbal Club Fcsb vs FK Rigas Futbola Skola Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

 by Ian John | in Europa League Predictions

This Thursday, two of the minnows in the Europa League meet in the opening match of the league phase. Steaua Bucharest of Romania take on Latvia’s Rigas FK. Will our prediction back the one-time Champions League winners, or can the Latvian team spring what would be an upset victory on the road?

The home side Ros-Albastrii have not enjoyed the best start to the season domestically in Romania. They lie a very disappointing 13th after nine games, with just ten points and two wins, although they do have a game in hand on most other teams in the league. 

They battled through to the Third round of qualifying in the Champions League, before losing 4-3 on aggregate to Sparta Prague. However, in the Europa League Playoff round, they defeated LASK Linz 2-1 on aggregate to qualify for the league phase of the tournament. They warmed up for this game with a 1-1 draw at home to Petrolul 52 at the weekend.

In contrast, Rigas FS are six points clear at the top of the Virsliga table in Latvia after 29 games. They also have a game in hand on most opponents and have lost just twice domestically all season, scoring 88 goals in just 29 games.

They were knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers 7-1 on aggregate by Bodo Glimt, but earned a place in the Europa League league stage with a 9-0 aggregate win over UE Santa Soloma and then a win on penalties after a 3-3 draw with APOEL of Cyprus. 

They defeated Liepaja 2-0 at the weekend ahead of this fixture.

Our Fotbal Club Fcsb vs FK Rigas Futbola Skola Prediction

Our prediction for Steaua Bucharest vs. Rigas FS on Matchday 1 of the Europa League is: Both Teams to Score - Yes. 

All the data in this fixture paints a very positive picture for Rigas FS, but the Latvian side's considerable winning record has been chiefly against poorer-quality sides. When they have stepped up in quality, they have struggled. Steaua's form this season isn't great, but they are playing at a higher level. According to the data, Rigas FS are likely to score, but so should Steaua, and that looks to be the best prediction to make here.

Prediction :

Both Teams to Score - Yes.
