This could be an interesting match as FC Daugavpils / Progress have their presumed home advantage while Valmiera / BSS are ahead 13 points in the Virsliga table.

Valmiera / BSS could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Lech Poznan. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
