Riga FC will look to book their place in the Conference League third qualifying round when they welcome Vardar to Skonto stadions on Tuesday evening. The Latvian side showed their superior quality in North Macedonia, producing a strong attacking display and securing a valuable win. Iago Siqueira was the main difference-maker in the first leg, scoring a brace, and the Brazilian forward will once again be the player to watch. Riga head into this clash in excellent form, winning eight of their last ten matches while averaging 2.30 goals per game. Their home record is even more impressive, with five consecutive victories and an average of 3.00 goals scored per match at their own stadium.
Vardar arrive in Latvia needing another attacking performance after finding the net twice in the opening leg, but their defensive issues were clearly exposed. Despite their struggles at the back in the first meeting, the Macedonian side have enjoyed a strong run of form, winning eight of their last ten games and averaging 2.90 goals per match. Goran Zakaric and Nemanja Bosancic are both pushing for starting roles as Vardar look for more creativity and experience in midfield. However, facing a Riga side that has been dominant at home will be a major challenge.
As Riga FC have the advantage and look like the more complete team, Home Win should be considered, alongside Riga FC Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (the first leg produced five goals, and another open encounter is expected).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Tuesday 28 July 2026 at 18:00.
