Prediction for the UEFA Europa League match which will take place on October 3. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

RFS is a young team, which was formed only in 2011, but already now plays in the main round of the Europa League. In such a short period of time, the Riga team has traveled from the First League to the elite division, where they have already become champions twice. In the current round of the tournament, they are leading the standings, ahead of the nearest pursuer by six points, and therefore are unlikely to lose the title. In addition, the Latvians managed to successfully overcome qualification for the Europa League, passing opponents from Andorra and Cyprus, but in the opening match of the general stage of the tournament, they suffered a major defeat to Steaua in Bucharest - 1:4.

Galatasaray is a much more experienced team, which is the most titled in Turkish football. The Istanbulians have won the national championship 24 times, won the national cup 18 more times, and won the Super Cup 17 times. This year's Super League started off great for the Red and Yellow. They have won six straight, and lost points for the first time only last weekend, when they drew 3:3 against Kasımpaş. This did not prevent the Lions from maintaining their lead in the standings. However, the Turks failed to qualify for the main stage of the Champions League, but they beat PAOK 3:1 in the opening match of the Europa League.

RFS and Galatasaray are opponents of completely different levels. The Rizhans made it to the main stage of the Europa League for the first time, where it is still very difficult for them to provide worthy resistance to the more high-profile teams. They lost to Steaua 1:4 in their first game, and now they face an even tougher opponent. Galatasaray in the current squad is one of the contenders to win the tournament, as only in the attacking group they have such stars as Dries Mertens, Mauro Icardi and Viktor Osimhen. Of course, it is too naive for the Latvians to expect success in a battle with such an opponent.
