Game week two of the First Liga season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Super Nova - Dinamo Riga preview:
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.
Super Nova form and stats
