REF’s picks

Riga FC have shown good resilience in European qualification ties and possess the attacking quality to break down a struggling Kairat Almaty side. Backing the hosts to score at least twice offers a solid entry given the visitors' defensive vulnerabilities on the road.

1. 1Riga scored two goals against both Aris Limassol and Klaksvik in recent matches.
2. 2Kairat Almaty conceded three goals in each of their last two European away games against Anderlecht.
3. 3The Latvian side can sometimes be overly cautious in possession, potentially stalling their attacking momentum.
