Smiltene have not been spoiled with points this league season. Will they get some when Tukums stop by Tepera stadions?

Insights:
  • Smiltene have the most conceded goals (40) in First Liga
  • Tukums have the most points (14) away in First Liga

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Tukums have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 13-4-8 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
