Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Salaspils & Rēzekne / BJSS face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Latvian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Salaspils form and stats
Last season, Salaspils's Latvian Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.When playing at home in the First Liga, Salaspils have managed 4 wins, 4 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 15 games. Salaspils has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Gerasimovs and the players.
Salaspils faced defeat in their previous match, away at Super Nova (after extra-time) (2-3).
Previous to that game, a Latvian Cup home match hosting Jurnieks in a game that was won 4-1.Salaspils are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 15 games. Salaspils have conceded 25 from these games.
Rēzekne / BJSS form and stats
Rēzekne's mission in Latvian Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.The story so far for the visiting team on their First Liga travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. With the Rēzekne losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Rēzekne / BJSS, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Auda. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Auda was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Super Nova.Rēzekne / BJSS have the goal stats of 0-4 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Salaspils one win, zero draws and Rēzekne / BJSS three victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Salaspils missing players
