Match Preview
Hamrun Spartans host Rīgas FS at the Ta'Qali National Stadium on Thursday for a Europa Conference League clash, both teams seeking to break a streak of poor form. The Spartans have lost four of their last five matches, while Rīgas FS mirrors this with a similar record. This match presents a unique opportunity for both sides to regain confidence, but the pressure is palpable given their recent performances. A notable angle to consider is the lack of goals in their previous encounters, with the last ten head-to-head meetings yielding no wins for either side, and a complete absence of goals. This trend suggests a potential for a low-scoring affair. However, the odds for both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.83 indicate that bookmakers expect a more competitive match this time around. With both teams desperate for points and a potential shift in form, fans can anticipate a tense encounter that may finally see the scoring drought come to an end.
