FK RFS vs Jablonec

RFS host Jablonec in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League third qualifying round tie on 13 August, needing to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit to reach the play-off round. RFS currently top the Latvian Virsliga, while Jablonec sit second in the Czech Chance Liga after two rounds this season. The first leg went the home side's way, Jablonec winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Vakhtang Chanturishvili and Matěj Polidar. That followed a dramatic aggregate win over Varazdin in the previous round, where Jablonec lost the away leg 3-2 but won 2-0 at home. RFS arrive off a dominant domestic campaign, led by top scorer Darko Lemajic and creative spark Janis Ikaunieks. The two sides have never met before. RFS will need a big night in front of their home fans to overturn the deficit, but Jablonec have already shown they can handle pressure away from home. Our prediction: 2-1
