On July 4, Skonto stadions (Riga) will host the match of the 21st round of the Optibet Virsliga of Latvia, in which Riga FC will compete with FK Liepaja. The battle will start at 19:30 CET.

Riga FC

The club can be considered to be a symbol of how quickly a newly created project can become a grandee in such, not particularly football countries. After all, it appeared only in 2014, albeit on the basis of the fusion of local Dinamo with a certain Caramba. “The Lions” immediately won the 1. Liga in 2015 and made the so-called “golden double” of the national championship and a victory in the Latvian Cup already in 2018. Then the metropolitan team kept the golden medals two more times, and only after that it moved a little into the shadows. Speaking about the previous season, for instance, the tournament brought only the 2nd place. Nowadays, there is a real race for the 1st position with the neighbours, RFS. Stipić’s wards are in the lead, although there was a misfire in the form of a defeat made by Valmiera in June. And there was only a draw in the previous round, a home one, but in the battle against the main pursuer.

FK Liepaja

The team was an attempt to recreate local Metalurgs and appeared on the football map of Latvia also in 2014. It is noteworthy that the club was given the place of its predecessor in the top division. And not in vain: the 4th place in the debut draw was followed by the championship title! It was not possible to repeat the higher mentioned result (the maximum was the 2nd position in 2017), but the team took the Latvian Cup twice. As a rule, “the Red and Whites” are in the so-called “second echelon”, claiming not for the gold medals, but for the right to start in the European competitions. They finished the previous season in the 4th place. Nowadays, it goes without saying that it is impossible to keep up with a couple of leaders, but the team is clearly aiming to fight for the 3rd place, especially since the balance of victories and defeats is still positive. Speaking about the previous tournament, however, there was only an away draw in the battle against Valmiera.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Liepaja had got 4 wins in a row. Still, the turning point happened just a year ago. At first, the opponents achieved a goalless draw and then Riga was three times stronger, including a 3-0 success and a 4-0 victory this spring.

Predictions

Bookmakers do not believe that the guests will impose a fight on the leader’s field. Thus, we bet on the club from the capital with “a -1 goal handicap” (odd: 1.6).
