Jelgava hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 20 points and a 8th position in the Virsliga table. Visiting Liepāja holds 6th place with 25 pts.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Jelgava and Liepāja.
