Jelgava form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Jelgava so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose). With the Jelgava losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Jelgava has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Virsliga home defeat versus Valmiera / BSS with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Spartaks Jūrmala.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Jelgava playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 0 Jelgava wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Jelgava as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games. Jelgava have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
