Match preview
Following a 1-1 draw in Rīga last Thursday, this tie is firmly in the balance.
A week ago, Dunstan Vella broke the deadlock for Hibernians at Daugavas stadions, only for Andrej Ilić to salvage a draw with just five minutes to go.
This, it’s winner takes all as these two domestic champions reconvene at Centenary Stadium.
RFS reached the third qualifying round of this competition last season before being ousted by Gent.
Having been dumped out of the Champions League by HJK, the Virslīga champions are looking to avoid a third successive European defeat and a repeat of last season’s exit in this round.
However, the Peacocks are aiming to win back-to-back European ties for the first time ever, despite first competing on the continent in 1961.
Whoever prevails in Ta’ Qali will take on, in all likelihood, Linfield in the Europa Conference League play-offs.
