This is the first leg of the Europa Conference League third qualifying round, with a place in the next stage at stake. CheckLive has not settled on a favourite here, which tells you how evenly matched these two look on paper.
Jablonec come in with four wins from their last five, including a 2-0 win over NK Varaždin in this competition and a 2-1 league win at Sigma Olomouc, though they did lose the reverse tie against Varaždin 2-3. RFS are in strong form too, unbeaten in their last five: a 1-1 draw at IF Vestri, a 4-1 home win in the return leg, plus wins over Tukums, Jelgava and Glentoran.
There is no head-to-head history between these clubs, so this is a genuine meeting of unknowns. With both sides scoring regularly and no clear favourite, a draw here would be no surprise, and the second leg may well decide who advances.
