Only a few games have been played in the First Liga so far, with Rēzekne / BJSS placed 8th and Smiltene sitting in the 5th position.
Rēzekne / BJSS and Smiltene should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Rēzekne / BJSS form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Rēzekne / BJSS's two home games in the First Liga so far this season, having collected 3 points.
No payout for Rēzekne in their previous match, an away game at Auda that ended in defeat 2-5.
Did Rēzekne / BJSS get overconfident in their match against Auda? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-5 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Early season league goal statistics from Rēzekne / BJSS's 2 home games: 2 goals, 3 conceded.
Smiltene form and stats
Smiltene are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the First Liga, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Smiltene, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
It's early days yet, but Smiltene has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
