Smiltene host Tukums II in the First Liga, with the two sides sitting very close to each other at the wrong end of the table. Smiltene are 11th with 16 points from 21 matches, while Tukums II are 10th with 18 points from 21 matches. Just two points separate them, so this is a game both teams need points from to climb away from the bottom zone. Both have just won two in a row, and both won their most recent match by similar scorelines. Smiltene won 2-0, while Tukums II won 1-0. But the overall picture across the season is of two teams with leaky defences. Smiltene have scored 29 and conceded 57 in 21 matches, while Tukums II have scored 27 and conceded 60. This game should open up early, because both teams have clear defensive problems, and their recent matches have tended to finish with high total goals. On the evidence of how they play, there is a strong chance this ends with plenty of goals traded.
