by Daniel Ngulu | in Europa League Predictions
Rigas are set to win another league title in Latvia and it means all attention at the moment is in the Europa League. On Match Day 4 of the competition, they are scheduled to host Belgian side Anderlecht.
As Rigas seek their first win in the league phase, here’s the preview and our prediction of the match. Nine wins in 11 competitive home matches would point to a possible Rigas win here.
However, when it comes to Europe, they are really struggling. At the moment the team has one point from a possible nine. In their last four Europa League matches, Rigas are winless.
Anderlecht are one of three teams yet to drop points in the Europa League this season. Even though they play away from home, they’ll still come into the game as favorites.
A couple of 4-0 wins in domestic action prepared them for this match, recovering from a 2-1 loss to Club Brugge. The Belgians beat Ferencvaros, Real Sociedad and Ludogorets in the opening three rounds, scoring six times.
There’s really not much to indicate they are struggling, and a win against Rigas will feel routine. The Hungarians have won each of their last five Europa League matches.

Our FK RFS vs Anderlecht Prediction
Rigas have never beaten a Belgian side before, and they haven't had a great start to the league phase either. The Latvians may be playing at home, but will walk into this game as underdogs, looking at the caliber of their opponents.
Their home matches in Europa league have been returning high scores and we expect this to continue. Facing a side on three straight wins though, this match looks likely to go the way of the visitors. Our prediction for Rigas FS v Anderlecht is for over 2.5 goals and Anderlecht to win.
