The season is still fairly new and the Virsliga table has to be read with caution. So far Metta / LU find themselves in 9th position and Spartaks Jūrmala are placed 8th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
