The differen

Riga has seen a lot of money invested in the club over the last couple of years and now all the financing is starting to pay off. They are well lined up to make the group stage of Europa Conference League stage as Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar is surely a great draw for them to get in the final qualifying round.

Riga have gone through 2 rounds, knocking out Shkendija and then Scottish side Hibernians in dramatic fashion. Hibernians were beaten in extra time after Paurevic's 90+6 goal put the game on level terms.

Riga have been reigning in the domestic league ever since former dominators Skonto had been dismissed. The club’s taken 3 titles in a row and are set to defend it again in 2021. They’ve done ok on the transfer market, holding on the core of the champion squad and adding some quality + depth in the faces of Dijon fullback Muzinga, Colombian centre-back Saiz, former Ukraine U21 international Vakulko and, of course, Ivan Paurevic from Bundesliga2 outfit Sandhausen. The Croat has been a great addition to the team with his experience (played for FC Ufa in the Russian Premier League) and leadership.

I obviously do not know much about the visiting side from Gibraltar. They got dumped into the Conference league after losing to Slovan Bratislava in Europa League qualifiers. Last season their bid to go through to the group stage was denied by Rangers. The season before modest side Ararat-Armenia had defeated them in both legs and ended the Europa League campaign.

A really average side with no European experience and a semi-professional squad.

I would be surprised if they had caused Riga a lot of issues on Thursday.

里加在过去的几年里有很多钱投资在俱乐部，现在所有的资金都开始有回报了。他们已经做好了进入欧罗巴联赛小组赛的准备，直布罗陀的林肯红色小鹿队无疑是他们进入最后一轮资格赛的一个伟大的平局。

里加已经通过了两轮，戏剧性地淘汰了仙肯迪加和苏格兰的hibernate。哈比尼人在加时赛中被击败，帕特里维奇90+6的进球将比分扳平。

自从前主导者斯库托被解雇后，里加一直统治着国内联赛。该俱乐部已经连续3次夺冠，并将在2021年再次卫冕。他们在转会市场上做得很好，保住了冠军阵容的核心，并在第让后卫穆津加、哥伦比亚中卫塞兹、前乌克兰U21国脚瓦库尔科以及德甲桑德豪森的伊万·帕雷维奇的面孔上增加了一些质量和深度。克罗地亚人凭借他的经验(在俄罗斯超级联赛效力于FC Ufa)和领导能力为球队锦上添花。

显然，我对直布罗陀的客队了解不多。在欧联预选赛中输给斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发后，他们被丢进了联盟。上个赛季，流浪者队拒绝了他们进入小组赛的请求。前一个赛季，实力较弱的亚拉腊-亚美尼亚两回合都击败了他们，结束了欧罗巴联赛。

这是一支没有欧洲赛场经验和半职业阵容的普通球队。

如果他们在周四给里加造成了很多问题，我会感到惊讶。
