Malmo FF vs Riga FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

Prediction published on 05/07/2021, 12:24 by Nella Wagah | Modified on 05/07/2021 at 12:24 in Champions League Predictions

Swedish giants Malmo FF are looking to return to the Champions League group stages and they start from way below as they take on Latvia side, Riga, in the first qualifying round. Malmo last took part in the group stages in 2015, and after that they've dropped out early in the qualification stages. They’ve had a strong start to the season so far, with a strong run that has them at the top of the league with 20 points. Malmo are coming from a loss to Norrkoping in their domestic league but that is their only loss in the last six matches. They’ve won four of the six matches and scored two or more goals in five of them. At home, they are unbeaten in the last five matches and in four of them, they’ve scored two goals or more.

Malmo FF are way more experienced in the Champions League compared to Riga. This will only be the fourth Champions League game for Riga, and they haven’t managed a goal in their three earlier Champions League matches. Heading to this game, they are coming from a 1-0 loss to Liepaja in the Latvian league, their second loss in the last five matches. They have two clean sheets only in those five matches, while away from home, they are coming from two straight defeats and a three-game winless run. Riga have managed just one win in their last six away matches, but have failed to score in just one of them and meeting a Malmo FF side without a clean sheet at home in five matches should give them hope.

Our Malmo FF vs Riga FC Prediction

Riga have no experience to match Malmo's in the Champions League. This stage is a bit too big for them and starting away at Malmo will definitely not favor them as their hosts seek early advantage. One thing about them though, is that they have scored consistently away from home, except in one of their last seven matches. With these returns in attack, we will back both sides to score here.
