Tukums form and stats

Tukums's struggle is real here at Tukuma pilsētas stadions with only 5 points collected from 7 Virsliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-4.

A strong away win for Tukums against Spartaks Jurmala the last match, as Zeltiņš and Kruglaužs (2) were on target.

Ahead of that match, Tukums lost 0-3 at home to Valmiera.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Riga to win. Let's see if Tukums are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 8 games found revealing 0 Tukums wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

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

Tukums have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Tukums's defense is seriously deficient as 22 goals have been conceded in these matches.
