This match features two teams living in the basement of the First Liga, New Project holding 8th place and Balvu lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
New Project form and stats
New Project have played 6 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for New Project with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Kalupe game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for New Project, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.New Project lost their last game at Grobiņa after a 1-3 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to JDFS Alberts (0-2).
New Project can score goals in their home matches. After 6 matches they have found the net 12 times. From these home matches, New Project have conceded only 5 goals.
Balvu form and stats
The manager is not happy with the away performances so far, as all 5 matches have been lost. Balvu are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 13 days since they avoided defeat. (The New Project game.) Bitter travels for Balvu as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Tukums.This game can not go any worse than the last one, a First Liga home defeat versus Auda with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-3 loss hosting Grobiņa before that.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Balvu as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games. Balvu can't defend away. 36 goals have been scored by the opposition in 5 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
