The visiting Rīgas FS side should be favourites in this visit to FC Daugavpils / Progress, as the away team holds a 35 point advantage from their 22 league games this season.
Rīgas FS could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Latvian Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Ventspils, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Rīgas FS.
FC Daugavpils / Progress form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Virsliga this season. FC Daugavpils / Progress have only managed 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Stadions Celtnieks.
Before that, FC Daugavpils / Progress had a home game versus Metta / LU which ended with a victory 1-0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Daugavpils as they have a new game in only three days, a Virsliga match thankfully also at home. Ventspils are visiting.
Daugavpils are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. FC Daugavpils / Progress have conceded 18 from these games.
Rīgas FS form and stats
Rīgas FS, who have the most scored goals (56) in Virsliga, have an excellent away record in the Virsliga so far with 7-2-1 from 10 games. In general it has been a productive period now for Rīgas as they haven't lost any of their last twelve games.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Jelgava.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 27 goals in 10 league games away this season. As opposed to that, Rīgas have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
