Riga vs Sparta Prague prediction
In the first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round tie at the epet ARENA in the Czech capital of Prague last week, Sparta Prague managed to defeat Riga by two goals to nil. Jan Kuchta opened the scoring after 22 minutes, before second-half stoppage-time Albion Rrahmani scored in second-half stoppage-time.
In their European campaign thus far, Sparta Prague have relied on home advantage with a defeat to Aktobe in Kazakhstan and a narrow come from behind win in Armenia against Ararat-Armenia. Riga are overthrowing Rigas Futbola Skola at the top-of-the-table in the Latvian Higher League, and they will be confident at home.
Sparta head to Riga knowing they are enduring a period of underperformance, but Riga will have to be viewed as slight favourites for this one in the Latvian capital city, or at least are worth a bet to make things awkward.
Riga vs Sparta Prague tip: Double chance – Riga to win or draw
