It's still early in the Virsliga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Valmiera / BSS - Spartaks Jūrmala preview!
- Valmiera / BSS have the most points from losing position (4) in Virsliga
- Spartaks Jūrmala have the the worst goal difference (-6) in Virsliga
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
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 4 points here at Vidzemes Olimpiskais centrs.
A good away victory last time out for Valmiera, who won 2-1 against Liepāja (placed 5th). Before that, Valmiera had a home game versus Ventspils which ended with a victory 1-0.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Valmiera's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.
Valmiera / BSS has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Spartaks Jūrmala form and stats
It's not happening yet for Spartaks Jūrmala on their Virsliga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Spartaks are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Prior to that match, the Spartaks Jūrmala manager M. Zub faced defeat when travelling to Riga and losing 1-6.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Spartaks when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning zero games.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Spartaks Jūrmala has managed 2 goals and let in 8 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
