National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Dinamo Riga or Alberts that keep their silverware dream alive.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the First Liga. That game was an away game at JDFS Alberts, so at least Dinamo Riga are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Dinamo Riga form and stats
Dinamo Riga have collected 4 points from their First Liga home games so far after 1-1-1.
No payout for Dinamo in their previous match, an away game at JDFS Alberts that ended in defeat 0-1. Heartbreak before that as Dinamo lost 1-2 at Grobiņa's place.
The lack of attacking qualities in Dinamo means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. 3 goals have been conceded.
Alberts form and stats
Alberts's mission in Latvian Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Alberts so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-14 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Alberts have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 15 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the FK Jurmala II game.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Cargo / DFA was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The attacking power of Alberts when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 15 league matches away. The Alberts defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 66 goals in their away games.
