Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Grobiņa & Liepāja face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Latvian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Liepāja played their last game only three days ago, a Europa Conference League match. That game was also an away game, at Gjilani. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Grobiņa form and stats
Last season their Latvian Cup adventure ended in the play-off round.Grobiņa are steadily winning First Liga games and points here at Stadions Daugava. 4 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 6 games.
The Grobiņa crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Skanste here at Stadions Daugava.
Grobiņa have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Liepāja form and stats
Liepāja's mission in Latvian Cup last season failed in the final.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the Virsliga.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Liepāja goalkeeper Krisjanis Zviedris is eager to challenge this, with his 196 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Two away games in a row for Liepāja, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Gjilani in the Europa Conference League.
A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Riga in the Virsliga.As mentioned earlier, Liepāja will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 5 wins (5 by two or more goals winning margin), 0 draws and 0 surprising defeats.
A new game in only four days for Liepāja, the Europa Conference League home match versus Gjilani. Busy days.
Liepāja are a potent attacking force on the road with their 23 goals in 9 league games.
