Two Conference League matches are being investigated by UEFA for potential match-fixing, reports The Athletic.
The one match that falls under the supervision of UEFA is the victory of Latvian RFS Riga with 4:1 against Macedonian Gyorche Petrov.
The bets on the win of the Armenian Alashkert with 6:1 against the Montenegrin Tivat also raise some doubts.
There is an unusually high number of bets on both Conference League fixtures.

“UEFA, following its long-standing practice, does not comment on investigations into potential match-fixing in order not to compromise the investigation. UEFA constantly monitors all activities that may signal potential match-fixing in cooperation with national associations,” the body said.
Both games were second legs and all four clubs have already been eliminated from European competitions.
