Europa Conference League betting and spectator preview: Rīgas FS and Hearts meet at Stadions Skonto to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

It's quite the trip for Hearts when visiting Rīgas FS as the cities are 2900 kilometers apart.

Rīgas have less rest than Hearts in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Virsliga game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Stadions Skonto. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Hearts have had more rest.
