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. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Liepāja with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Metta / LU game, 24 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Liepāja are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadions Daugava, having lost their two previous games here.

Liepāja's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Valmiera / BSS (placed 6th). Heartbreak before that as Liepāja lost 1-2 at Ventspils's place.

A decent goal production from Liepāja in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Liepāja have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Tukums form and stats

The Virsliga season is young and Tukums, who have the most conceded goals (22) in Virsliga, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Tukums's previous game was their home loss versus Riga (1-5). A 1-1 draw at Spartaks Jurmala's stadium before that.

Tukums lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Tukums's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. Tukums have conceded 6 goals in these games.
