One step away from the final phase, the group stage, of the Conference League, after last week’s 2-0 home win. Sparta Prague is the clear favorite in this matchup, and to think that the Latvians of Riga could pull off a comeback is something that goes beyond simple prediction. In short, we think they will go through to the next round and even win away, for the second time.
Why are we so convinced? We’ll tell you clearly: in the first leg – yes, home advantage undoubtedly made a difference – there was never a feeling during the 90 minutes that Riga could be dangerous. And the final score does not do justice to the Czech team, which dominated throughout and could have sealed the deal and secured qualification. Not that it is still open; on the contrary, we believe and are sure that it is closed, but a 2-0 lead does not allow the Sparta coach to sleep soundly.
However, he knows that his team can win again and secure their place in the next round once and for all. But he also knows that his team must remain focused to do so. Will his men succeed? Yes, we are sure they will, so we believe that an away win, as explained above, is highly predictable.

The prediction
Unlike what happened in the Czech Republic, even if only for a matter of pride, we believe that Riga will be able to find the back of the net in front of their fans. Therefore, the match, with at least three goals in total, will once again be dominated by Sparta.
