Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Mārupe & Smiltene face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Latvian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Smiltene was sent out of Latvian Cup in the 8th finals last season.The story so far for the visiting team on their First Liga travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
Smiltene play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to FS Jelgava.
A draw for Smiltene before that, at their own venue hosting Rezekne / BJSS (3-3).The attacking power of Smiltene when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. The Smiltene manager Dūmiņš has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
