Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Grobiņa form and stats
Playing away, Grobiņa have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats so far this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Grobiņa are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.It might be tough going out on the road again for Grobiņa, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Rēzekne / BJSS. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against New Project wasn't a success with a 0-6 loss.
The attacking power of Grobiņa when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored in 4 matches. The Grobiņa defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 15 goals in their away games.
