REF’s picks

Pafos FC hold home advantage and greater tournament experience, making the -0.75 handicap an appealing entry to back a decisive victory. Riga FC arrive on a steady unbeaten run, but stepping away from home into European competition poses a stiff tactical test against a motivated host side. Expect the Cypriot team to press their advantage and cover the line.

1. 1Pafos boast strong attacking output at home, evidenced by their qualification matches against Dinamo City and RB Salzburg.
2. 2Riga FC have shown resilience recently, but their away form in Europe often relies on cautious setups that could crack under pressure.
3. 3An early goal for the visitors could disrupt the handicap plan and leave the hosts chasing the game.
