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 Tukums are placed 9th and 10th respectively.
It's no vacation for neither Valmiera nor Tukums 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
The home fans saw their team lose the first Virsliga game of the season here at Vidzemes Olimpiskais centrs. Last season these fans witnessed 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses from Valmiera / BSS's 16 home games.
Valmiera drew their last game, 2-2 away at Ventspils (placed 5th). Ahead of that match, Valmiera lost 0-4 at home to Rigas FS.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Virsliga game versus Spartaks Jūrmala in only four days. This game is also played here at Vidzemes Olimpiskais centrs.
At Vidzemes Olimpiskais centrs, Valmiera / BSS has the goal stats of 0-4 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Tukums form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Virsliga ended in defeat. Last season Tukums had these away match statistics: Played 13; won 10, drew 2 and lost 1. Three has not been a lucky number for Tukums as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Grobina match.
Tukums have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 242 minutes ago. D. Hvoinickis (own goal) was the goal scorer.
Tukums's previous game was their home loss versus FC Daugavpils / Progress (0-6). A 0-3 defeat away at Ventspils before that.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against FC Daugavpils / Progress was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Metta / LU in just four days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Tukums has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Valmiera, two draws and one win for Tukums. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
