The visiting Riga side should be favourites in this visit to Tukums, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their six league games this season.
Riga could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Virsliga game only four sleeps ago.
11-3-9 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Riga when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 23 matches are 32-23 (scored/conceded).
Tukums form and stats
Three Virsliga home games done for Tukums, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Game days at Tukuma pilsētas stadions have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Tukums as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Tukums shared the glory with Spartaks Jūrmala in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Before that game, the home loss against Metta / LU with the scoreline 1-3.
The manager J. Kalns will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Liepāja in only four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Tukums here at Tukuma pilsētas stadions in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Tukums have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
Riga form and stats
Things could have gone better for Riga in their Virsliga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Riga hope to make it five in this match.
Riga won their last game, 2-0 versus Metta / LU played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs FC Daugavpils / Progress.
Riga have the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
