Only a few games have been played in the Virsliga so far, with Ventspils placed 3rd and Valmiera / BSS sitting in the 10th position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Ventspils form and stats
Ventspils have only played one Virsliga game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 7 draws and 1 defeat from 16 matches.
Ventspils's previous game was a Virsliga match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Tukums (placed 9th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Rigas FS (0-1).
Ventspils are traveling soon after this match as the Virsliga match at Spartaks Jurmala awaits in four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Ventspils's 1 home game: 3 goals, 0 conceded.
Valmiera / BSS form and stats
Valmiera / BSS have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Virsliga were 5 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats from 16 fixtures.
The attacking players of Valmiera have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 246 minutes.
Home advantage was not enough for Valmiera in their previous game, as they lost their Virsliga-match, hosting Rigas FS, 0-4. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Riga wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
Valmiera / BSS lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
A new game in only four days for Valmiera / BSS, the Virsliga home match versus Tukums. Busy days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Valmiera / BSS has managed 0 goals and let in 2 from 1 match.
