Command Analysis
Riga FC
Riga won the long-awaited Latvian championship in 2025, and now it continues to fight for the championship, but it ranks second, one point behind the Russian Football Federation. In the last three matches of the championship, the hosts beat Super Nova (1-0), Jelgava (1-0) and Tukums 2000 (2-0). The hosts got into the main stage of the Conference League, beating Vardar, Gyor and Klaksvik in the selection.
Kairat Almaty
Kairat takes the second place in the championship of Kazakhstan and is four points behind the leading Ordabasy. In the last matches of September, the team from Almaty suffered defeats from Tobol (1:4) and Astana (0:1), but last week the guests were able to win a minimal victory over Zhetysu (1:0). The last European Cup matches were unsuccessful for the yellow-blacks. In the Champions League selection, Rafael Urazbakhtin's team lost to the Bulgarian Levski (0:1, 0:1), and in the Europa League there were two defeats from the Belgian Anderlecht (0:3, 0:3).
Kairat is not in the best shape right now, and the Kazakh team has not been successful in European Cup matches so far this season. And Riga has already beaten several opponents at the European Cup level and is ready to prove itself in the main stage, and the home advantage should help the representative of Latvia to win in the first round of the Conference League. We believe that the Riga team will start the tournament with Victoria.
