A quick look at the Virsliga table suggest an advantage to Liepāja when they travel to Super Nova. Even so; let's play before points are handed out!

Insights:
  • Super Nova have the fewest scored goals (2) in Virsliga
  • Liepāja have the most scored goals in the second half (16) in Virsliga

It should be mentioned that Liepāja play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Liepāja on artifical turf are 8 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats from eleven games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 27-11. You can compare this with overall results below.

These are hectic days for the host team, as they had a game only four days ago in the Virsliga. This match was also played here at Salaspils sporta nama stadions. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Liepāja have had more rest.

Super Nova form and stats

The total Virsliga results playing at home this season for Super Nova, who have the fewest scored goals (2) in Virsliga, are 0-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Super, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Super Nova supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Salaspils sporta nama stadions: A 0-1 defeat against Metta / LU (placed 7th).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Valmiera / BSS (1-5).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Super Nova as they are travelling to their away game against Auda in the Virsliga. That match is four days after this one.

Super has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 5 games. On the other hand, Super Nova have conceded 7 goals.

There might be some fixture complaints from Liepāja as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-3 against Valmiera / BSS.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Rigas FS.

Liepāja have another fixture away from home in just four days, a Virsliga game against Riga. A difficult fixture list for the visiting team!
