It's early days in the Virsliga and both Riga and FC Daugavpils / Progress are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
The hosts Riga saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Virsliga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Jelgava.
Riga form and stats

Nothing to worry about in defence for Riga, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 219 minutes in the Virsliga.
