Sparta Prague are set to host Riga FC at the epet ARENA in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round. Here's our match prediction.
Sparta Prague have made an impressive start in the 2025-26 Czech First League season. At the moment, they are one of three teams in the league that have yet to suffer defeat and maintain a two-point cushion at the top.
Last time out, a trip to Stadion u Nisy saw them beat ten-man FC Slovan Liberec 2-0. This extended their league win to four games.
Regarding Iron Sparta's situation in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers, they find themselves in the playoff round. To get here, they secured a commanding 6-2 aggregate win over FC Ararat-Armenia in the third qualifying round.
Riga FC are aware that their opponents in this upcoming encounter are out of their league. However, they are in a confident mood after annihilating Riga Mariners 10-0 in the Latvian Football Cup quarter-final.
Riga's run in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers has been worthy of praise. In their last four qualifying games, they have lost just once (W2, D1).
That recent loss came at the hands of Beitar Jerusalem, losing 3-1 in the second leg of the third qualifying round. Despite that outcome, they were the ones who got to progress to the next round thanks to a 4-3 aggregate success.
