RFS has already achieved great success, reaching the main stage of Europe's second most important club tournament. This is another step forward for one of the fastest growing football projects today. The team will play in the seventh round of the UCL, and they will have two points when they start. The hosts have drawn with Galatasaray and Anderlecht at home, which means they might still have a chance to keep going in the play-offs.
The Latvian Championship is organised on a spring-autumn system, and the new tournament has not yet started, while the previous one has already finished. RFU won the national championship for the second time in a row and for the third time ever.
Ajax
Ajax is obviously a more prestigious club than RFS, so it's no surprise that after six rounds of the Europa League, they're way ahead in the standings. With ten points, they are currently in 11th place, just one point behind the top eight. Ajax started the tournament with four matches without defeat (three wins and a draw), but then lost twice in a row - away to Real Sociedad (0:2) and at home to Lazio (1:3).
In the Dutch league, Francesco Farioli's team is second in the standings after 19 rounds, one point behind leading PSV and with a better defense - only 18 goals conceded in 19 games. Ajax beat Heerenveen 2:0 away last Sunday.

Expert Betting Tips
No matter how much RFK improves, it's still hard for the Latvian club to compete with teams of Ajax's level. The Amsterdam club hasn't yet decided on their Europa League position, and in the final rounds will try to get into the top eight. We think the visitors will win, but the match will not be very exciting. Under Francesco Farioli, Ajax has significantly improved their defense and have the lowest number of goals conceded in the current Dutch league.
Prediction:
W2 & TU (4.5) for 1.74
