Riga United will face a tough challenge this evening but
nonetheless willing to have a go at FK Rīnūži/Beitar on the back of
a good early start to the season.
These two teams have met several times before, mostly in the
Latvian or Riga cups. Last year in the league they met only
once with Rīnūži coming out on top 5-1. So United know what
they are up against.
Still, Riga will have taken heart from the last two games.
With a great 1-1 draw against Caramba and a 1-0 win over
Traktors, Riga have started to find their style of play. And
no doubt, if the team stay disciplined to their tactics, they might
potentially walk away with something tonight. Manage Awada was
tight lipped about the tactics but this is what he had to say about
his side before the game, “I focus on us and what we can do, we
have been solid in defense and can cause them issues...we go into
each game with no fear; we have a game plan and if we can stick to
it I believe we can get a positive result today.”.
Mo remains upbeat about the game, despite the testing nature.
However, there was a realistic tone to his comments. “Its
that time of the season were the games are coming thick and fast,
but I guess if you ask the players they would rather be playing
games then training.
We've had a solid start to the season, any kind of result today
will make it an excellent start and give us a great platform to
push on for the rest of the season.
For me Rinuzi are the strongest team in our league this season, It
will be a huge test for us but one we are looking forward too and
we will go there full of confidence. Rinuzi have a strong squad
which consists of 14 1. Liga players.”
Team News:
Awada has a plethora of players to choose from, the only negative
being Matehus Johansen hasn’t quite recovered from the knock he
received against Optibet Traktors. So expect a very similar looking
set of players against Rīnūži.
