Rigas Preview – Can Rigas use home comforts?
Although they hold home advantage for this return leg in Latvia, Rigas find themselves facing a 1-0 deficit on Tuesday night although the hosts will be boosted by winning three of their last four matches in all competitions, picking up wins against Spartaks Jurmala, Daugavpils and Jurmala again in the domestic cup.
Rigas will be hoping they can replicate their result from last time out which saw the hosts record a comprehensive 4-0 rout of Spartaks Jurmala in the Latvian Cup but they face tough opposition in the shape of HJK who are Finland’s most successful side in the country’s history.
HJK Preview – Can HJK avoid defeat?
As they travel to Rigas Futbola Skola on Tuesday evening, HJK Helsinki will look to book their place in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League following last week’s 1-0 win in Finland which sets them up nicely for this return leg on Tuesday night.
In their domestic league season, HJK has played 14 matches, picking up 27 points, which has placed them 2nd in the Veikkausliiga, just three points behind KuPS and the visitors have lost just two of their last 12 outings on the road in all competitions.
