On Thursday night, a lot of games in the 1st round of the Europe Conference League are going to be played. One of the matches is going to be between Riga FC and Vikingur. In this match, I predict that Riga will win.

Both teams are having good seasons in their national championships. After 22 games, Riga has 17 wins and just one loss in the Virsliga tournament, which gives them the 1st position. The only loss was on the road, and they have won 3 out of the last four games. The draw was against the 2nd best team RFS, and Riga tied the game in the 92nd minute. Brian Pena is one of the latest Riga additions, and he's playing excellently. He has played in just four games since arriving but has already scored two goals. At home, Riga is expected to score 2.40 goals in Virsliga and concede only 0.92.

Vikingur is currently the best team in the Iceland championship. The last game wasn't so good as they drew 3:3 against the worst team in the championship Keflavik, scoring the last goal just in the 95th minute. A month ago, Vikingur blew a 2:0 lead as they conceded in the 95th and 97th minutes. Overall this season, Vikingur has 12 wins in 15 games. Per xG, Vikingur is expected to score 2.01 goals on the road and concede 1.15.

While both teams are the best in their national championships, I'm going with Riga. First of all, they are playing at home and it is always tough to play away from home. Secondly, Riga has a better roster, they have acquired much better foreign players which is very important in these tournaments. Latvia overall is in higher standings between all nations and it shows that the Latvian football is better overall.

周四晚上，欧洲联盟第一轮有很多比赛要打。其中一场比赛将在里加和维金古尔之间进行。在这场比赛中，我预测里加会赢。

两支球队在各自的全国锦标赛中都有不错的表现。22场比赛后，里加队在维斯利加联赛中17胜1负，排名第一。唯一的失利是在客场，他们在过去的四场比赛中赢了三场。比赛的对手是排名第二的RFS队，而里加队在第92分钟将比分扳平。布莱恩·佩纳是里加队的新成员之一，他踢得非常出色。自从来到这里，他只踢了四场比赛，但已经进了两个球。在主场，里加预计将在维斯利加打进2.40球，只丢0.92球。

Vikingur目前是冰岛锦标赛中最好的球队。最后一场比赛不太好，他们3:3战平了冠军联赛中最差的球队凯夫拉维克，在第95分钟打进了最后一球。一个月前，维金古尔在第95分钟和第97分钟丢掉了2:0的领先优势。本赛季，维金古尔在15场比赛中取得了12胜。预计维金古尔将在客场打入2.01球，失球1.15球。

虽然两支球队都是各自国家锦标赛的最佳球队，但我还是支持里加队。首先，他们是在主场比赛，在客场比赛总是很艰难。其次，里加有一个更好的阵容，他们获得了更好的外国球员，这在这些比赛中非常重要。总的来说，拉脱维亚在所有国家中排名较高，这表明拉脱维亚足球整体上更好。
