Our FK Rigas Futbola Skola vs Apoel Nicosia Prediction
While Rigas had an impressive third qualifying round in this competition, they face a much tougher opponent here and are currently showing up as a very marginal favourite at the books.
However, the hosts are in the midst of their league season and are fully up to speed, while the visitors have only played four games this term and this will be their first in the Europa League. We’re expecting a closely contested match and just about fancy the hosts to edge the result, but we'll opt for the safety of our money back in the event of a draw. Our Rigas vs APOEL Nicosia prediction: Rigas Draw No Bet!
