Rigas FS and PAOK are doing well in their respective domestic leagues, but have struggled to cope in Europe. As Latvian side Rigas welcome their Greek counterparts, both sides will be eying first wins in the Europa League. Read on for our prediction of this Match Day 5 encounter.
Rigas are chasing the record to become the first Latvian club at the knockouts of a European competition. That isn’t going to plan so far, having bagged two points from the opening four league phase matches.
They lost 4-1 to FCSB, and 1-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt in away matches then drew 2-2 and 1-1 with Galatasaray and Anderlecht at home.
PAOK have one point less, gained in their Match Day 3 2-2 draw with Viktoria Plzen at home. Losses to Galatasaray (3-1), FCSB (1-0) and most recently Manchester United (2-0) have left PAOK in 33rd place.
The champions of Greece will be keen on getting their European campaign going with three points here. It hasn’t been a straightforward campaign for the Greeks, who earlier got eliminated from the Champions League but not all is lost.
They snapped a two-game losing run in their last outing, beating Asteras Tripolis 2-1. In 12 away matches this season, they only lost to Manchester United and Galatasaray.

Our FK RFS vs PAOK Thessaloniki Prediction
Rigas last failed to score at home in March, and with a consistent run in attack, we expect them to frustrate PAOK in this match. In all their four home Europa League matches this season, they managed at least a goal, though they kept just one clean sheet.
PAOK will be aware of their hosts’ weaknesses in defence and that is where the Greek side will want to exploit. For both sides there’s all to play for and our prediction for Rigas FS v PAOK is: both teams to score.
