Valmiera form and stats
7-1-0 is the performance here at J. Daliņa stadions so far in the Virsliga, giving Valmiera a total of 22 from their 8 games here. Outstanding results! days ago.
Valmiera's last game was hosting Super Nova (placed 10th) and winning 1-0.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Liepāja and winning 3-1.The manager Kalns will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Riga in only four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (18 in 8 games), Valmiera's attacking play is working.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Rīgas FS form and stats
Rīgas FS have an excellent away record in the Virsliga so far with 6-1-1 from 8 games.
Rīgas FS played 2-2 against Liepāja in their previous match. An inspired comeback made the scores level in Rīgas FS's duel with Liepāja. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Ilić found the equalizer.
A 0-2 defeat away at Riga before that.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Virsliga trip to Spartaks Jūrmala.
