The Best Riga vs Vikingur Reykjavik Prediction and Betting Tips
Riga to Win
The host team has the benefit of still being in the competition at this moment. The Lithuanian team maintains its rhythm and is in better shape than its opponents, who have not played a match in the last two weeks.
Furthermore, the host has not lost any of their last four matches and has won four of their last five at home. For these reasons, my Riga vs Vikingur Reykjavik prediction is that the home team will win the first leg.
Over 2.5 Goals
More than 2.5 goals have been scored in 8 of Iceland’s past 9 encounters. One of the reasons is that they score a lot of goals while leaving their defenses vulnerable.
Because the attackers understand what is at stake, they will take advantage of every offensive play generated by their club. I believe there will be three or more goals.
Both Teams to Score
Both Riga and Vikingur Reykjavik have been the first to score in their respective matches, and they are both prolific scorers. Furthermore, we saw BTTS in 6 of Iceland’s last 7 matches.
The away team’s most recent encounter, against Keflavik, ended in a 3-3 tie. It would be usual for both teams to score in this match.
