Only a few games have been played in the First Liga so far, with Smiltene placed 5th and Dinamo Riga sitting in the 8th position.
Smiltene and Dinamo Riga 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.
Dinamo Riga have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Smiltene form and stats

Dinamo Riga form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their First Liga travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
