RFS vs Levadia: UEFA Champions League Prediction (16.07.2025)

On July 16, 2025, at 00:00 WIB, the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 qualifying round between RFS and Levadia will take place in the Latvian capital. Bookmakers consider the home team the favorites. However, the intrigue remains alive in this matchup, as the visitors are trailing by just one goal. Let’s review the current form of both teams and provide our prediction for the match.

RFS

The Latvian side is in excellent form. RFS has won 9 of its last 10 matches, with their only defeat coming in the Riga derby against FK Riga (1-3). In the matchup against Levadia, RFS is seen as the favorite. The team has more experience in European competitions. However, despite their 1-0 away win, Viktor Morozov’s men had to work hard for the result. The game was evenly matched. RFS even played as the second number at times. Their opponents had more possession (57% to 43%), and both sides had 4 shots on target. But the Latvians were more clinical in front of goal.

Levadia

Domestically, the team has performed well recently. However, RFS is likely the strongest opponent Levadia has faced in recent times. The Estonian club is still considered the underdog in this pairing. Moreover, they must now win away from home. Nevertheless, the result of the first leg keeps hope alive for the fans of the Tallinn-based club. Levadia managed to put up a competitive fight and played on equal terms. Their set pieces, in particular, could prove dangerous in the second leg.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

Last week, the two teams met for the first time in an official match. RFS won 1-0 away. Prior to that, they had met three times in friendly games, with each team winning once and one match ending in a draw.

Prediction

For the RFS vs. Levadia match, we predict a low-scoring outcome. Both teams are not particularly prolific in front of goal. In the previous game, both sides lacked sharpness in the final third. It’s unlikely that this will change in the upcoming match. Therefore, we suggest betting on under 3 total goals at odds of 1.68.
