It is clear that Eintracht is the big favorite in the match and even with rotations, they are unlikely to miss the victory. They did miss it otherwise in their home game against Viktoria Plzen earlier in the tournament, making a dramatic 3:3 draw after leading 3:1. However, they then won 3:1 as a guest against Besiktas. Lately, Eintracht's matches have been productive. The team's last five matches have had over 2.5 goals and goals in both nets.
The Latvian champion is a debutant in the groups and their start was not good, losing 1:4 as a guest to FCSB in their first match. It seemed like they would lose their home game against Galatasaray as well. However, they showed character and equalized for the final 2:2, after trailing 0:2. So there is no reason to underestimate them now.
Forecast: Eintracht to win and over 2.5 goals, -1.5 AH for EintrachtThe class difference is not small and I expect a victory for the hosts. It will probably be by more than one goal, considering their recent productive matches, and Riga also did not perform well defensively in their two previous matches.
