Győri ETO vs Riga

Győri ETO host Riga FC in the second leg of their Conference League third qualifying round tie, needing to overturn a narrow 1-0 deficit from last week's first leg in Latvia to keep their European run alive. It's an early litmus test for both clubs this season: Győr currently sit top of the Hungarian NB I table, while Riga, chasing a third straight Latvian title, are second in the Virsliga. Both sides look sharp heading in. Győr have been prolific domestically, including a 4-0 win over Nyiregyhaza, with forward Krpic a constant attacking threat. Riga remain unbeaten in twelve league matches and have scored in twenty consecutive home games, built around captain Ramires. The clubs had never met before this tie, and the first leg was settled by an own goal inside the opening four minutes. Győr will need a sharper finishing display to flip the aggregate score on home soil and reach the play-off round. Our prediction: 2-1
