The Virsliga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Valmiera / BSS and Spartaks Jūrmala are placed 8th and 7th respectively.
It's no vacation for neither Valmiera nor Spartaks Jūrmala as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Valmiera / BSS form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Valmiera / BSS's two home games in the Virsliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Vidzemes Olimpiskais centrs.
Valmiera's previous game was a Virsliga match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Tukums (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the away draw at Ventspils that finished 2-2.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Valmiera / BSS at home in the league. 2 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Spartaks Jūrmala form and stats
Things could have gone better for Spartaks Jūrmala in their Virsliga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Spartaks Jūrmala's previous game was their home loss versus Ventspils (1-3). A 1-4 defeat away at Rigas FS before that.
A new game in only four days for Spartaks, the Virsliga home match versus Tukums. Busy days.
3 goals so far away for Spartaks Jūrmala, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - zero - seven (Valmiera / BSS wins - draws - Spartaks Jūrmala wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
