Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Kauguri & Jelgava face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Latvian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Jelgava could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Virsliga game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Tukums. 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.
