by Daniel Ngulu in Europa League Predictions
Rigas will be looking to make the most of their spot in the Europa League when they host Turkish giants Galatasaray. The Latvian side is looking to bag a home win against Cimbom Aslan in this Thursday match. Read on for our prediction.
Not many Latvian sides have played at this level. Rigas are only the second side from the country to play in the league/group phase of the Europa League. Their start reflected just their status as minnows.
Viktors Morosz side suffered a 4-1 loss at the hands of Steaua Bucharest. That was their fourth loss in the last seven Europa League matches. In their nine outings in Europe this season, Rigas lost four times.
Galatasaray are unbeaten since losing back-to-back in the Champions League qualifiers in August. They started their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 win at home to Greek side PAOK.
One area they have excelled in this season is in attack. The visitors have scored a minimum of three goals in each of their last six matches.
They will, however, want to do better defensively here after managing just one clean sheet in the last 11 matches. Right after their win on Match Day 1, Galatasaray played out a 3-3 draw with Kasimpasa in another show of their defensive frailty.
In that match, they let a 3-0 lead slip. Coming into this game, they will be banking more on their away form, which reads nine wins in 10 matches.

Our FC RFS vs Galatasaray Prediction
Most of Rigas’ wins in the Europa League at home came in the qualifiers, against much weaker opposition. They will be looking to claim a big scalp here and their scoring form will pass as a big boost.
Facing a Galatasaray side that has struggled to keep clean sheets might work. However, the team they are hosting is a very strong outfit and especially in attack.
The Turkish side has scored at least three goals in each of the last six matches. Our prediction for Rigas v Galatasaray is for Galatasaray to win and both teams to score.
