The Virsliga season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Liepāja and Valmiera / BSS promises to be an interesting one.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Virsliga match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Ventspils, so at least Liepāja are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Liepāja form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Liepāja's two home games in the Virsliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadions Daugava. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Liepāja to get some points in this home game.
In their previous game, the manager D. Molosh led his Liepāja to a defeat in the Virsliga match away at Ventspils. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadions Daugava. Preceding that match was the home game against Rīgas FS that was lost 2-5.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Liepāja, as the Virsliga home game vs Spartaks Jurmala is only four days away.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Liepāja at home in the league. 5 on target and 5 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
