Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Passing on Pafos FC v Riga FC. The likely outcome is priced too short to be worth taking, and nothing else is sure enough to call.

Preview

Riga FC arrive in Cyprus with the better form, but the home advantage makes Pafos FC favorites to dictate the tempo. The home side sit down in 32nd place because they lost 2 and drawn 3 of their last 6 matches. Riga FC occupy 22nd in the table as they won 3 of their last 6. Adrian Gula lacks his usual defensive cover since Andrés Salazar is serving a suspension. This leaves a gap in the 4-2-3-1 that Ricardo Sá Pinto can exploit with his 4-3-3 setup. Lelê will test a back line that is missing its key man until November 5. The high number of bookings from this official will decide who keeps their head.
