In this Europa Conference League fixture, Pafos FC host Riga. The two teams come from different leagues and different countries, and they arrived here on the back of very different results in the same competition. Pafos FC lost 1-3, while Riga drew 1-1, so nothing is guaranteed for either side in this game. Pafos FC have picked up wins at intervals in their own league, but their defence still shows lapses, especially early on when they concede fairly quickly. Riga, meanwhile, are unbeaten in 5 straight matches and have a consistent attack, but their away defence is not especially tight, particularly late in games when they concede more often than at other times. This game is likely to see Pafos FC with more of the ball and pushing forward against the hosts, while Riga will probably sit back and wait to counter. If Pafos FC start quickly and do not concede first, the game is likely to flow in the home side's favour. But if Riga are allowed to attack first, it will become a game of constant exchanges, a scenario Pafos FC still have to prove they can handle.
