- Super Nova have the fewest matches over the total-line (0) in Virsliga
- Riga have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (1) in Virsliga

Super Nova form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Virsliga this season. Super Nova have only managed 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Salaspils sporta nama stadions. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts.
The followers are hoping that Super Nova will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the game against Auda (placed 5th).
Ahead of that match, Super Nova lost 1-3 at home to Liepāja.Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Super Nova have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn zero and lost four from four games. four defeats by at least two goals.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Super as they are travelling to their away game against Tukums in the Virsliga. That match is four days after this one.
The lack of attacking qualities in Super Nova means that they have only scored 2 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Super Nova defense is not exactly impregnable. 10 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Riga form and stats
1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Riga playing as the away team in the Virsliga this season. Recent form does not give Riga much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Super Nova will be a tough nut to crack.
The attacking players of Riga have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 269 minutes.
Riga have much to to correct after their shock defeat (0-1) to Liepāja in their previous game, played in front of their own supporters.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Valmiera / BSS wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.As mentioned earlier, Riga will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in five wins (four by two or more goals winning margin), three draws and one surprising defeat.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Riga manager Fink as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Spartaks Jūrmala.
Riga are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 5 away games. Riga have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
