I would echo the previous answer. Gold matches earn you more money so that you will be able to purchase more Spectre or Premium Spectre packs but do not influence the content of the purchased packs. The only suggestion that I can make ans this is purely anecdotal but I do seem to unlock new characters during a challenge weekend involving those characters. I waited ages for the Phoenix Vanguard and Adept but only finally got them during an operation. That may have just been good fortune though. Good luck finding what you want.
