Riga form and stats

The hosts won their first Virsliga game here at Sporta komplekss Ķeizarmežs, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Riga last season were 9 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses from 14 games.

The supporters are hoping that Riga will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Liepāja (placed 2nd).

Ahead of that match, Riga won a home game hosting Valmiera / BSS (2-1).

Everyone expects Riga to win this match. We have checked our database for matches where they have been as big a favourite and found 19 games: 16 home wins, one draw and two defeats. Riga have won with at least two goals margin eleven times in similar situations.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Riga, as the Virsliga home game vs Spartaks Jūrmala is only four days away.

Early season league goal statistics from Riga's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.

Super Nova's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Auda that finished 0-0.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Liepāja wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

1 goal so far away for Super Nova, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
