RFS vs FK Auda Prediction 17.10.2024

• Competition: Latvia - Virsliga
• Date: Thursday, 17th, October 2024
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK/17.00 CEST
• Venue: LNK Sporta Parks (Riga)

Leaders RFS will try to edge closer to the Virsliga crown when they take on top-three contenders FK Auda at LNK Sporta Parks this Thursday.

Over the past few years, Viktor Morozs’ team has risen as a powerhouse in Latvian football and they are now taking confident steps toward clinching their third Virsliga championship in just four seasons. At this point, RFS hold a six-point lead over their closest title challengers Riga FC with a game in hand, meaning that securing maximum points on Thursday could see them start chilling the championship champagne with four rounds remaining.

Meanwhile, FK Auda have underperformed this year, and their chances of replicating last season’s third-place league finish are diminishing, especially after falling 1-2 in their latest Virsliga contest against relegation-threatened Liepaja. At this moment, Zoran Zeljkovic's men hold fourth place, trailing third-placed Valmiera by six points with a game in hand, which means they will need to be at their very best against the league leaders to keep their top-three hopes alive.

RFS vs FK Auda Betting Tips : BTTS

RFS are strong favorites to take all three points, but we expect FK Auda to be anything but an easy target and hope they put up a fight, making this contest thrilling and entertaining for the spectators. The boys in blue have displayed a weakening defensive solidity of late, particularly on their home turf, as evidenced by a mere three clean sheets posted in their last 10 home outings across all competitions. Such a defensive line from the league leaders will face a serious challenge in the form of FK Auda, who have plenty to boast about in attack having rattled the net in 18 consecutive competitive matches. One thing that cannot be overlooked is that, despite RFS emerging victorious in each of their three clashes this season, FK Auda has consistently found a way to respond offensively, and we anticipate that another high-scoring win for the league leaders could be on the cards here.
