Rīgas FS vs Anderlecht

Rigas FS’ only previous games against Belgian sides came in 2021-22 UEFA Conference League qualifying – they drew 2-2 away and lost 1-0 at home against KAA Gent.

This will be Anderlecht’s first ever game against Latvian opponents, in what will be their 446th game in all European competition overall.

All seven of the UEFA Europa League goals Rigas FS have conceded in the UEFA Europa League this season have been in open play – the most of any team.

Anders Dreyer has been involved in five goals in his last six starts in the UEFA Europa League across spells with FC Midtjylland and Anderlecht (3 goals, 2 assists).
