Rīgas FS can not expect any pleasantries from their host Liepāja in this Virsliga game. Here's our full preview!
- All of Liepāja's home-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
- Rīgas FS is in the best form (5-1-0)
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Virsliga.
8-3-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Rīgas FS 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 17 matches are 29-18 (scored/conceded).
Liepāja form and stats
Liepāja have played three Virsliga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Liepāja, their manager D. Molosh and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Liepāja lost their last game at Riga (placed 3rd) after a 1-4 scoreline. Before that match, a win away at Metta / LU.
A decent goal production from Liepāja in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Rīgas FS form and stats
3-2-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rīgas FS, who have the most clean sheets (5) in Virsliga, in their Virsliga matches away. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Rīgas FS hope to make it five in this match. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Rīgas are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Rīgas goalkeeper Vytautas Gediminas Cerniauskas is eager to challenge this, with his 188 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Valmiera / BSS at their stadium, the result 1-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Rīgas are hosting Spartaks Jurmala in the Virsliga only four days away.
Rīgas has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 5 games. Rīgas are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 5 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
