Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Auda & Rīgas FS face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Latvian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Auda form and stats
Auda was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Latvian Cup.The story so far in the First Liga for Auda at their home stadium (Ķekavas stadions) is 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. There’s a good atmosphere here at Ķekavas stadions after three straight home wins.
A good away victory last time out for Auda, who won 2-0 against Super Nova. Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Lokomotiv Daugavpils.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Auda as they have a new game in only three days, a First Liga match thankfully also at home. Dinamo Riga are visiting.
Auda are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Ķekavas stadions in their league games, having scored an impressive 14 goals in 5 matches. Auda have conceded 7 in these home matches.
Rīgas FS form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for Rīgas, as they won the Latvian Cup.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Virsliga. In general it has been a productive period now for Rīgas as they haven't lost any of their last ten games.
Rīgas FS are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Valmiera / BSS. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Ventspils in the Virsliga.
As mentioned above, Rīgas drew the match against Valmiera / BSS. Manager V. Morozs brought on A. Kouadio to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Rīgas given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed five matches with five wins as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won two of these games by at least two goals.
A quick return to home after this game, as Rīgas FS are hosting Spartaks Jurmala in the Virsliga only three days away.
Rīgas are a potent attacking force on the road with their 27 goals in 10 league games. As opposed to that, Rīgas have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
