Glentoran vs RFS prediction

Under the management of Declan Devine, Glentoran finished third in the NIFL Premiership last season, behind Larne and Coleraine. The hosts have won just one European tie in the last 15 years.

They now face an RFS side that come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw against Auda in their most recent outing, at the weekend. They sit back at the top-of-the-table in the Latvian Higher League after missing out to Riga last season.

RFS reached the group stages of the UECL in 2022/23 campaign before then getting to the league phase of the UEFA Europa League. They have far more recent European pedigree and they will be expected to win this tie against Glentoran.
