Riga FC vs Derry City Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League

Prediction published on 13/07/2022, 14:54  by Daniel Ngulu in Conference League Predictions

Riga have a good chance of advancing to the next stage of the Europa Conference League after their 2-0 first leg win over Derry City in the first qualifying round. They will be at home here and with a good lead to defend, we don’t expect any upsets in this game. Coming from a 2-0 loss in a cup game will however leave tough questions for Riga, who have failed to score in three of their last four matches as well. All of Riga’s last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and in two of them, they’ve conceded twice. Riga have two losses and three clean sheets in their last five matches. It definitely hasn’t been stable for Riga; in their last five matches, they have three wins and two losses – they’ve lost the last two matches, conceding two in each and they have three clean sheets in the five games.

Derry City will feel they have what it takes to overturn this. Their loss to Riga in the first leg is the only defeat they have in the last six matches and also the only time in eight that they failed to score. Three times in the last five matches, they’ve registered wins but they have just one clean sheet, while they’ve failed to score in one of the five. Away from home, they have three straight wins but also here they have just one clean sheet, with both teams scoring in three of the last four away matches.
