The visiting Riga side should be favourites in this visit to Liepāja, as the away team holds a 19 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
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.
12-3-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Riga when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 23 matches are 38-24 (scored/conceded).
Liepāja form and stats
When playing at home in the Virsliga, Liepāja have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Liepāja lost their last game at Metta / LU (placed 9th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that, Liepāja drew at home versus FC Daugavpils / Progress.
A decent goal production from Liepāja in their home games so far, with 8 goals from 5 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Liepāja defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Riga form and stats
The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (6) in Virsliga, are W4-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Virsliga. Riga have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of nine victories in a row regardless of arena. Riga has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Spartaks Jūrmala.
Riga go into this game after a win, the home game against Spartaks Jūrmala that ended 4-2. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Valmiera / BSS at their stadium, the result 1-0.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Riga, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
After this away game Riga return home for a Virsliga game against Jelgava. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Riga have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 12 goals from 5 away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
