Riga FC vs Derry City 14.07.2022

European nights are often settled in the second leg, nonetheless, it is imperative that Riga FC are the favorites to qualify to the next round after notching two vital away goals in the 1st leg of this round. A powerful well organized Riga side will look to fall to their defensive strength to frustrate the visitors to the last minute as they look to ease to the next round.

That said, the lack of killer instinct in the 1st leg now leaves Derry City with a mountain to climb as they make a trip to the Skonto Stadium next Thursday. Admittedly, that game was a poor display with a normally rolling Derry City curbed by the defensive-minded Riga outfit. But if Derry are to entertain any goal of a prolonged run in Europe this season, as sure as eggs is eggs, they will have to nick a goal within the early part of the game to revive their hopes.

Assuredly, the weight will be on the Red and White Army to play on the front foot, which could be their undoing as the clinical counter from Riga FC might catch them by surprise.
