CFR is a regular participant in European tournaments, although recently it has not made a mark in them. It was eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers by Sparta Prague, after which it eliminated the Austrian LASK in the play-offs to enter the Europa League groups. However, it cannot be said to be in good form with only two wins after the first nine rounds in the championship, where it occupies the undesirable 13th place.
RFS Riga becomes only the second Latvian team to reach the group stage. To achieve this, they eliminated Apoel from Cyprus after penalties and a win at home and a loss away. They also started from the Champions League qualifiers, but were eliminated after two losses to Bod?/Glimt. In the Latvian championship, they are close to winning another title.
Prediction: CFR to winAlthough CFR does not look in good form, I think they can win this match, even if it's just by one goal difference. The hosts remain the more experienced team on the European stage, which is not a guarantee of success, but I still think they can win at home at least against a team from Latvia.
