Match Facts

  • Maccabi Tel Aviv’s only previous meeting with Latvian opponents was a 2-0 win against Riga in qualifying for the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League.

  • This is the first ever meeting between an Israeli side and a Latvian side in a major European competition. Including qualifiers, clubs from Israel are unbeaten in all seven of their games against those from Latvia (W5 D2).

  • Maccabi Tel Aviv ended a run of six straight defeats in the UEFA Europa League on MD5 against Besiktas, but they haven’t won back-to-back games in the competition since October 2020 (run of 3).

  • Rigas FS remain winless in their 11 games in major European competition (D4 L7), failing to score in over half of those matches (6).

  • When they’ve been level in UEFA Europa League matches this season, Rigas FS have faced 33 more shots than they’ve attempted (47 vs. 14), the worst differential of any side in any game state in the competition in 2024-25.
