In the second round of the Europa League group stage, a match between RFS and Galatasaray will take place at the Daugava Stadium in Riga. In the opening game of the main round, the reigning Latvian champions lost to Steaua Bucharest in Romania, 1-4. The Blues conceded in the eighth minute but equalized before the middle of the first half; however, they failed to respond effectively to the subsequent goals from the Romanian side. The Yellow-Reds, on the other hand, secured a 3-1 victory over PAOK on their home turf. The intrigue remained until the very end, when Mauro Icardi and Kerem Demirbay, who came on as substitutes, combined in added time to score the third goal.

In the Europa League qualification phase, the Riga team overcame Andorra’s Unió Esportiva Santa Coloma (2-0, 7-0) and Cyprus’ APOEL (2-1, 1-2, 4-2 on penalties). The Blues have played just four home matches in the tournament, making their debut five years ago.

Galatasaray failed to reach the main round of the Champions League, losing to Young Boys (2-3, 0-1).

In four of their previous five Europa League away matches, the Istanbul club did not concede any goals. Moreover, during this period, the Turkish giants recorded three goalless draws.
