In the last few years, RFS have become the best football team in Latvia. They won three of the last four league titles, while in Europe, the club from the national capital played the Conference and Europa League in two of the last three seasons. The Latvian Virsliga has already finished, and RFS won another title. In the coming weeks, Viktors Morozs' team will play only in the Europa League, where they collected two points in the first four rounds. It is challenging to keep the team in the rhythm without games, so RFS played a friendly against Flora last Friday, in which the Latvian side won 3-0.
While PAOK are disappointed in the Europa League with only one point in the first four matches, in the Greek Super League, things are much better as Razvan Lucescu's team is only one point behind the league leader, Olympiacos. PAOK lost two games before the international break, but they won 2-1 on the road against Asteras Tripolis last weekend, so maybe that is a sign of better performances in the Europa League, too. PAOK needs all three points on Thursday in Riga to keep the chances for the knockout phase alive.
RFS vs PAOK pick: Both teams to score - yes
RFS scored at least one goal in 16 of the last 17 matches in all competitions. On the other hand, PAOK scored at least one goal in eight of the previous nine games. We should expect both teams to score on Thursday evening in Riga.
RFS team news
RFS have a big problem with missing players. Ziga Lupuscek, Petr Mares, Alfusainey Jatta, Martins Kigurs, Emerson Deocleciano, and Ismael Diomande are all injured. Some of these players have a big role in RFS, so it will be interesting to see how the team will react.

PAOK team news
The situation with missing players is ideal in PAOK, as all players should be available for Thursday. The Greek team struggled in the Europa League so far, so we should expect the head coach, Lucescu, to field the best possible XI, as PAOK needs points urgently.
