Liepāja closed their last match with a lingering 2-3 defeat, and now come back into this game still without a win in 4 straight matches. A defence that used to be tight has become leaky in the opening phases, while FS Jelgava just lost 2-4 in their last match and have lost 2 in a row, but still have an attack that has scored in several matches. The two teams do not come in very different shape. Liepāja have managed only draws in several recent matches and just conceded three goals, while FS Jelgava have lost more but still scored in the matches they lost. This game therefore looks more like a trade of punches than a wait for mistakes. If FS Jelgava sit deep and wait to counter, Liepāja will have to be the side opening up and pushing the defensive line higher, which is exactly the moment FS Jelgava thrive in. The game should end close and not far apart.
