RFS vs Malmo prediction
A part of that improvement in their European pedigree saw Latvian champions Rigas Futbola Skola reach the league phase of the UEFA Europa League last season, and they were at times competitive in that competition, too. RFS have made it to this stage of the UEFA Champions League after a 2-0 aggregate defeat of Levadia Tallinn this month.
Malmo, on the other hand, overcame the surprise 2024 Georgian top-flight champions Saburtalo Tbilisi in the first qualifying round of this competition earlier this month. They defeated Saburtalo by three goals to one in the first-leg, before completing a 6-2 aggregate victory with a win by the same scoreline in Malmo.
RFS have proven themselves to be very difficult to play and score against, so a low-scoring encounter would appear the likeliest outcome for this one in Latvia.
RFS vs Malmo tip: Under 2.5 goals
