Metta / LU form and stats

1-0-4 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Metta / LU, who have the fewest points (3) at home in Virsliga, so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Metta / LU to get some points in this home game. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Metta / LU, their manager A. Riherts and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The fans are hoping that Metta / LU will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Virsliga game against Riga. Ahead of that match, Metta / LU lost 0-1 at home to FC Daugavpils / Progress.

The Metta / LU fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Metta / LU defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Ventspils form and stats

0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Ventspils, who have the fewest points (1) away in Virsliga, in their matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Ventspils have lost on their last two travels.

Ventspils's last game was the home draw against Jelgava (1-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Spartaks Jūrmala wasn't a success with a 3-4 loss.

Ventspils have scored 5 goals on their travels this season, 4 away games. The Ventspils manager D. Vukićević has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
