Auda are set for a new test after their 1-1 versus Spartak Trnava in the previous match. Liepāja are coming to play!

Insights:
  • Auda have the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in Virsliga
  • Liepāja have scored at least twice as many goals away as Auda have scored home.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Liepāja have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 12-7-2 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
