Spartaks Jūrmala form and stats

There's been little loot from Spartaks Jūrmala's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Virsliga. Spartaks Jūrmala, who have the most conceded goals (15) away in Virsliga, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. Spartaks seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Spartaks have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 184 minutes ago. H. Kerbache was the goal scorer.

Spartaks lost away at Metta / LU (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FC Daugavpils / Progress wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

The visiting Spartaks have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 6 games. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Spartaks concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
