Riga FC will host Kecskemet in the second leg of their Europa Conference League second qualification round at the Skonto Stadium on Thursday. Both sides are coming after taking part in the first leg of the tournament. The first leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round tie saw Keckemet defeat Riga FC by two goals to one in Széktó Stadium. Kecskemet is in some fine form recently. It has won its last four out of five fixtures. Keckemet recently thrashed Ajka five goals to one in the worldwide club friendlies. Riga FC on the other hand, won against BFC Daugava Daugavpils Ghe 3-0 in the domestic Latvian League. However, Kecskemet won in the first qualifying round against Riga FC. Nevertheless, the aggregate lead between both sides is not much. It should be a tough competition for Kecskemet to pull out a win.
