It's advantage Riga so far with their 1st position in the Virsliga table, welcoming Spartaks Jūrmala who are placed 5th.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Riga are already the Virsliga winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. For Spartaks Jūrmala most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
