Czech football club Jablonec has traveled to Riga in strong form ahead of the second leg of its Conference League tie against RFS, arriving on the back of three consecutive wins in the Czech domestic championship.
In their most recent league match, both teams had a player sent off in the first half, but Jablonec still managed to secure the win, with Martin Cedidla scoring the decisive goal in the 62nd minute.
That result marked Jablonec's third straight league victory, following earlier wins over Sigma Olomouc (2:1) and Pardubice (2:0). The club has also shown solid form in the Conference League, eliminating Croatia's Varaždin over two legs with an away win (2:3) followed by a home win (2:0).
