RFS and Glentoran locked in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 battle
Match outlook
With the return match of the 2nd Qualifying Round of UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 already looking like a foregone conclusion, it is time for Rigas Futbola Skola to finish the job on Thursday. The Latvians are the clear favorites here at 1.42 with Glentoran at 6.5 and the draw at 4.6.
There is every chance that this game stays tight, but RFS are just the sort of team to finish off the job when it matters.
Playing styles
- The hosts have won 4 of their last 5 games at home across all competitions, including a 3-1 victory over BFC Daugava Daugavpils and a 1-1 draw with FK Auda before beating Glentoran 2-1 away in the first leg of this tie.
- Viktors Morozs has them playing an open, flexible, high-tempo game where they press high up the pitch and look to overload the flanks with their full-backs bombing on.
- Glentoran are a team that do the opposite, with Declan Devine keeping them compact and pragmatic and hoping to nick chances on the break or from set pieces when they can get a run at goal.
RFS can finish the work
It's a clash of styles and the RFS approach should suit the hosts better with their quality and control in the attacking third. Glentoran will try to keep it tight and try to hurt them on the counter, but they come into this game on a 3-match losing streak and an embarrassing 0-4 home defeat to Kilmarnock was a sign that the team is a little short on bite.
Backing RFS to win and under 4.5 goals looks the tidy angle here, as the visitors are set up to play with a deep block and will offer more resistance than they did in the 1st leg.
Martins Kigurs is the danger man for RFS in this competition so far with 2 goals in 1 game, but Glentoran's main spark has been Zeno Ibsen Rossi with 1 goal in 1 game.
