Riga FC vs Dundalk Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions League Predictions
Latvian side Riga were only formed five years ago. They won the title last season to qualify for their first ever Champions League campaign and got off to a good start with a goalless draw at Dundalk. Last season saw them participate in the Europa League and only lost on penalty shoot out to CSKA Sofia. Three games in European competition have only produced two goals and another low scoring game looks possible in this second leg. Riga are again top of the Latvian league this season with a four point lead after 19 games. Their last two games have both ended goalless and they have gone four matches without conceding a goal. Home form has seen them fail to score in their last two league games with only one goal scored by the opposition.
Dundalk will have been upset at not securing a first leg lead but glad not to have conceded a goal. Getting on the scoresheet in this match will be their main aim, meaning their opponents will have to score at least twice to stay in the tie. The Irish Champions are unbeaten in their last 17 league and cup games, last losing in April. They are eight points clear at the top of the Irish Premier League, so another spell in the Champions League next season is looking likely. Dundalk reached the group stages of the Europa League in the 2016/17 season but haven't fared so well since, losing in the second qualifying round of the Europa League last season. They have only scored six goals in their last eight away ties in European competition The suggested tip for this match is under 2.5 goals in the game.

Our Riga FC vs Dundalk Prediction
This should be a close battle between these two teams. The first leg ended goalless and Riga have been struggling for goals of late. Three of the last five Dundalk away games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them and this looks like being another one. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this second leg game.
