Spartaks Jurmala and Liepaja have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Virsliga.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Liepāja's home stadium. The visitors last 19 games on artificial turf have ended in 10 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses.
