Riga FC vs Malmo FF Prediction 13 July 2021

Riga FC hosts Malmo FF in the second leg of the Champions League qualification 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 13th at Skonto stadions (Riga)

Riga FC was founded quite recently, at the turn of 2014-2015. However, starting from 2018, the metropolitan team invariably won the championship of Latvia. Of course, now the Lions are also waging a struggle for the already familiar first place. However, now they have strong competitors, RFS and Valmiera. Moreover, Riga managed to lose to Liepaja before the start in the Champions League qualification. The Balts also lost in Sweden. In principle, it was not surprising: they still have nothing to boast of in the Champions League qualifiers. In 2019, they were knocked out by Dundalk on penalties after two goalless draws, and last year they lost 0-2 to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Malmo FF is much more successful. The Sky Blues even played in the final of the European cup, even if it was a long time ago (in 1979). Now the Swedes are certainly not so formidable, but in 2014 and 2015 they played in the Champions League group stage. And then they qualified for the spring playoffs of the Europa League twice in a row. In 2020, the Scandinavians were unlucky, as they ran into Granada CF in the decisive qualifying round. On the other hand, now the men of Jon Dahl Tomasson are not in their best shape. They recently lost points in the local championship. And on July 7, they beat Riga at home with a modest 1-0 score. Colak scored the only goal after the break. Given that the Latvians were in the minority for more than 50 minutes (Muritala managed to pick up the 2nd yellow card in the 41^st minute), they should have been beaten more confidently.

Riga is a young club, and it did not play against Malmo FF before this two-legged confrontation. But the Swedes crossed paths with both Ventspils and Skonto. And each time they won away after home draws. Riga needs to win back, so it will have to play in a more open style. But it is also convenient for Malmo. We expect the Swedes to win again and recommend betting on their victory with a -1 handicap.

Prediction for the match: Malmo FF to win with -1.0 handicap
