This is the kind of matchup where everyone just expects Porto to crush Riga, and honestly, that's what makes it kind of dangerous for Porto. In football, there are always those games where the "big team" relaxes a bit, thinks they've got it in the bag, and then gets shocked. Riga FC has actually been on a solid streak—four wins and a draw in their last five. If they come in super motivated and Porto is just cruising, that's where anything can happen.

I've seen smaller clubs play super defensively, counter attack hard, and nick a lucky goal. Sometimes the bigger team dominates, but the underdog has that one moment and grabs it. The pressure's all on Porto too—if things aren't going their way, the fans get frustrated, and sometimes nerves mess up even the best players. Plus, if Riga’s goalie has a crazy game or Porto’s strikers can’t finish, suddenly it's not so one-sided. So yeah, most people don't expect it, but that's why it's fun to root for the underdog. Upsets are what make football cool!
