Riga registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Dundalk

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in away matches; against 12 wins and 3 draws at their stadium. They come to this match after a away draw against Derry City by (2‑2). Dundalk has won 9 and tied 1 of the last 10 home matches. They have presented defensive consistency, since they have only suffered goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 18 of the last 27 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have been able to score first and have done so in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 9 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 11 of them. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 14 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

We remember that Dundalk come to this first qualifiers of the Champions League due to the achievement of the 2018 Irish Championship.

The whole squad is available for this game.

Analysis Riga

The team plays its first match in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 9 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the Virsliga, they got a home tie against Valmiera / BSS by (0‑0). In the last 10 away matches Riga has won 7 and lost 3. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Riga come to this game with a goalless draw against Valmiera, thus registering the second match followed without losing in official matches. We remember that Riga are present on this tie after having won the Latvian Championship. For playing away from home, coach Mihails Konevs should keep a more withdrawn team, waiting for the opponent in his defensive midfield. The forward Darko Lemajic deserves all the attention so far, a player who has scored 5 goals in his country's championship. For this game the coach can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Roberts Ozols, Antonijs Černomordijs, Herdi Prenga, Oļegs Laizāns, Roger, Tomislav Šarić, Aleksejs Višņakovs, Joel Bopesu, Ritvars Rugins, Roman Debelko, Armands Petersons.
