In this First Liga fixture, Tukums II host Riga FC II in a situation where the two teams sit on opposite sides of the table, but Tukums II's home games are usually not ones where they get blown away easily. They need points to prop up their own standing, while Riga FC II want to keep their winning run going. Tukums II have just finished a game with a 0-3 defeat, a match where their defence came under heavy pressure from the start, while Riga FC II have just won 2-0 and look likely to be the side dominating possession and pushing forward all game. But playing at home tends to make opponents work harder than expected to break down Tukums II's deep-lying defence. The game is likely to take the shape of Riga FC II controlling the ball and pushing high, while Tukums II focus on defending as a block and waiting for the occasional counterattack. The first half may be a period where the hosts hold the game together, but in the second half, as the game opens up more and Riga FC II raise the tempo, Tukums II's defence will be tested with increasing severity, and that is when the pattern of the game will clearly change.
