Riga vs FK Liepaja Prediction (21.06.2026)

Riga continues the battle for the first place in the Latvian championship and before the upcoming round is only one point behind the top. However, this week the team faces a serious challenge against fourth-placed Liepaja. Although the gap between the two teams is only two positions, it actually amounts to a full 20 points, which is indicative of the strong season of the hosts. In their 18 championship matches so far, Riga has recorded 14 victories and only one loss.

Liepaja also has its strong moments during the season, but its performance has been much more inconsistent, having recorded seven wins and seven losses so far. Interestingly, the matches of both teams are often high-scoring. Seven of Riga's last eight matches and six of Liepaja's last eight ended with over 2.5 goals, and the same happened in four of the last five direct encounters between them. An additional problem for Liepaja is playing away, where the team has not won in five consecutive championship matches, four of which were losses.

Riga is in excellent form and has both the home advantage and a significantly more consistent performance throughout the season. Liepaja may make the match interesting, but the difficulties in away games and the quality of the hosts lead me to expect another success for Riga. It is not excluded that the match will offer more goals again, but my main prediction is for a victory for the hosts.
