The lineup for each team is based on their starting lineup in their last match in this tournament. RFS The Latvian team suffered their second defeat in the group stage (1 draw), losing to Eintracht in the previous match with a score of 0-1. In all three matches played, RFS failed to keep a clean sheet. Moreover, the club's streak of conceding goals in Europe's second-tier club competition stands at five matches. In the current Europa League campaign, only Qarabag has conceded more goals than the Riga-based team, with RFS having conceded seven goals. In the Europa League standings, the team is in 31st place, trailing the play-off zone by two points. RFS scored against their opponents in 6 out of 7 previous Europa League encounters. At home, the club has not lost in 3 matches in this tournament (2 wins, 1 draw). At least 3 goals were scored in 5 out of the last 6 matches of the Riga team in the Europa League. Anderlecht The Brussels team won their third consecutive match in the Europa League group stage, beating Ludogorets in the last round with a score of 2-0. Furthermore, their winning streak in Europe's second most prestigious tournament has increased to five matches. In the match against Ludogorets, Anderlecht managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in the group stage. Anderlecht is one of three clubs, along with Lazio and Tottenham, who have yet to drop points in the tournament's main stage. In the Europa League standings, Anderlecht is in 3rd place, trailing the aforementioned competitors due to additional indicators. The team kept a clean sheet in 5 out of their last 7 Europa League matches. No more than 2 goals were scored in 6 out of the last 8 matches of the club in Europe's second-tier club competition. Away from home, Anderlecht has not scored more than 1 goal in 7 out of the last 8 Europa League matches. RFS vs Anderlecht: match prediction The Riga team put up a decent resistance against a strong opponent – Eintracht in the last round away, losing by only one goal. At home, RFS has a much better chance of earning points. The team has not lost in 3 Europa League matches at home, securing 2 victories. Moreover, in the current group stage home match, the Latvian club managed to draw against Galatasaray with a score of 2-2. I don't think the upcoming opponent is stronger than the Turkish team. Yes, Anderlecht won all 3 matches in the group stage, but their opponents were not the strongest. And away from home, the Brussels team does not feel as confident as at home, having won only 1 out of 5 previous Europa League matches (2 draws, 2 losses) not counting the match against Dynamo Minsk, which was played on neutral ground. Moreover, this single victory was by a minimal margin (1:0). I believe that the resilient Riga team will put up a worthy resistance to Anderlecht and even if they lose, it is unlikely to be by a large margin. My prediction is "RFS with a handicap (+1)" with odds of 1.63. Author: Roman Sedov
