Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Mordovia Saransk & Riga face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FNL Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Riga have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-3-8 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.

Riga have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Mordovia Saransk form and stats

Last season, Mordovia Saransk's FNL Cup journey ended in the 13th place final.

Mordovia Saransk's struggle is real here with only 10 points collected from 13 FNL games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-7. The home fans are hungry for more even though Mordovia Saransk have been steadily collecting points here through three straight draws.

A good away victory last time out for Mordovia Saransk, who won 2-0 against Baltika. Sensational by Mordovia Saransk last match, beating Baltika away as big underdogs. Before that match, a FNL win away at Baltika.

Mordovia Saransk are traveling soon after this match as the FNL Cup match at SKA Khabarovsk awaits in three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Mordovia Saransk here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 13 games). 17 goals have been conceded.
