Players to watch
Caio Ferreira is the top scorer for Riga FC in the UEFA Conference League this season with 1 goal. He leads the scoring for a side that has rarely gone a match without finding the net.
For Jablonec, Antonin Rusek holds the same distinction, also with 1 goal in the competition this season.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to a Riga FC side that regularly scores but also tends to concede. In their last 5 matches they scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 1, while both teams scored in 4 of those games. Four draws in that run also show a team that has been hard to beat, even if wins have been less frequent.
Jablonec have produced a different pattern. In their last 5 matches they scored in 3 and kept a clean sheet in 2, and both teams scored in only 2 of those games. Their most recent result, a goalless draw at home against Brighton & Hove Albion, was one of those clean sheets.
The fact sheet contains no line-up or formation information for either side, so no conclusions can be drawn about their tactical shape.
