Levadia take on the visitors RFS in round of 1/8-finals of UEFA Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 8th at A. Le Coq Arena (Tallinn).
Levadia are maintaining their now-familiar standard. The “White-Greens” were founded in 1998 and claimed their first Estonian championship just a year later. Since then, they’ve added a total of 11 league titles, reclaiming the crown last season after a three-year break. They also secured the domestic cup—again for the 11th time—making it a memorable double. Under head coach Curro Torres (the same one remembered from peak-era Valencia), they are once again setting the pace in the Meistriliiga. Levadia have pulled away from their domestic rivals just in time for their European campaign to begin, sitting comfortably atop the table. In their latest league outing, they faced Paide and continued their solid run of form. Historically, Levadia have struggled to make deep European runs, often falling at the second hurdle—but they’re looking more balanced this season.

RFS trace their roots to the youth academy of Latvia’s former powerhouse, Skonto FC. Since 2019, they’ve claimed both the league and the national cup three times, asserting themselves as a new force in Latvian football. Back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024 under Viktor Moroz cemented their domestic dominance, and they even reached the main round of the Europa League—though they understandably struggled there. This year, however, they’re facing fierce pressure from cross-town rivals Riga FC, who have taken the lead in the title race by July. The season is far from over, but every domestic point now carries weight. In their most recent league match, RFS edged past Liepaja 2-1, a win that came at a physical cost. Their squad depth has been tested lately, and that could affect their freshness in European fixtures.
These teams have never met in official competition. However, they have faced off in friendlies—splitting victories in 2013 and drawing 1-1 in a 2020 exhibition match. The Latvians are considered the favorites, even away from home. Still, we’ll take a chance on the hosts avoiding defeat in this one.
Prediction for the match: Levadia not to lose (X2).
