Liepāja form and stats

Things could have gone better for Liepāja in their Virsliga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Home advantage was not enough for Liepāja in their previous game, as they lost their Virsliga-match, hosting Rīgas FS, 2-5. A 0-2 defeat away at Riga before that.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Rīgas FS was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

A new game in only four days for Liepāja, the Virsliga home match versus Valmiera / BSS. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but Liepāja has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
