Riga FC vs Spartaks Jurmala Match Preview

Riga FC won 1-0 over Valmiera on the road expanding their winning streak to 8 games. They are first-placed in the Latvian Virsliga after 10 rounds played, having three points more than second-placed Rigas FS. They scored the winner in the 72nd minute and managed to keep the hosts away from their box in the remaining minutes of the game.

Today Latvian champions face the only team that has beaten them this season, 2-1 on the road in the first round, about a month ago. Defender H. Prenga is unavailable as he is still serving his suspension.

Spartaks Jurmala climbed on the 3rd place of the table after their comfortable 2-0 win over Metta/ LU. They were clearly the better side in the first half when they scored a goal and hit twice the post. At the beginning of the second half they doubled their lead, and even they played with a man less for the last 35 minutes of the game, they weren’t troubled by the away team, taking all three points rather comfortably.

Defender B.Camara is unavailable tonight after his sending off in the previous game.

The home win is offered at ridiculous odds, something that I definitely cannot accept. Without a doubt, Riga FC are the big favorites tonight, but Spartaks Jurmala cannot be ignored, actually, they are the only side that has beaten the champions Riga FC so far. The away win is offered at huge 9.85 odds with Betshop and I am going to take the risk.
