There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Virsliga table so far. Here's the Valmiera / BSS - Ventspils latest:
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Virsliga. That game, against Tukums, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Ventspils.
Valmiera / BSS form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Valmiera / BSS have to build on here at Vidzemes Olimpiskais centrs in the Virsliga.
No payout for Valmiera in their previous match, an away game at Rīgas FS that ended in defeat 2-5. Preceding that match was a defeat to Riga (0-1).
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The manager T. Pertia will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tukums in only four days.
The Valmiera / BSS fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Valmiera's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Ventspils form and stats

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Ventspils have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
