High-odds football predictions this weekend
Rigas FC hosts Bodo / Glimt at the LNK Sporta Parks in Riga in a second game from the second qualifying round of the Champions League. Let us preview this fixture for you in our High-odds football predictions this weekend.
Bodo / Glimt are already looking towards the third qualifying round of the competition. The Norwegian team achieved a stunning 4-0 win in the first leg at home. This is making Rigas’ task in the second leg almost impossible.
Bodo / Glimt scored three of their four goals against Rigas FC in the first half. August Mikkelsen opened the score while Saltnes and Kapskarmo added two more until the halftime whistle. In the second half August Mikkelsen scored his second one – and Rigas’ 4th.
Now the Norwegians can be very calm about the second leg in Riga. With such a good advantage in the scoreline, they can be relaxed, but not too much – we’ve seen everything in football.
Rigas FC have nothing to lose now – they must aim to make their best effort in the second leg. Clearly Bodo / Glimt are the better team, but they still can make a good performance. The team’s manager Viktors Morozs admitted that his team was not up to the task last week.
Most likely Morozs will use once again his favorite 4-2-3-1 formation in the rematch. It didn’t bring him success last week, but it’s a formation that gives Rigas some balance in the team. Ismael Diomande will lead the attack for the Latvians while Emerson, Kigurs and Ikaunieks are expected to attack from second position.
That’s the High-odds football predictions this weekend for the upcoming Europa League clash between Rigas FC and Bodo / Glimt. The Latvians’ task seems impossible here after conceding four goals last week. As for the Norwegians – they can have fun here and show the best they got. Let’s see!
