Rigas is facing elimination in Europe after a 0:2 loss away to Jablonec on Thursday. However, a crucial home rematch is coming up this week, and anything is possible. Meanwhile, in the championship, they are at the top with a one-point lead before this round over their pursuer Riga FC, so they cannot afford any mistakes. They have won 20 out of their 24 league matches and are the team with the fewest goals conceded, and now they are facing a seemingly manageable opponent.
Grobiņa is eighth, just above the relegation zone. They have only four wins from 24 matches. They are also the team with the fewest goals scored in the Latvian elite. They lost their last five away matches in the league without scoring, the last being a 0:4 defeat to Riga FC.
Prediction: victory for Rigas without conceding a goalIn the league, Rigas cannot afford any mistakes, protecting their first place despite the upcoming match on Thursday. Grobiņa is a completely manageable opponent. These are also the teams with the fewest goals conceded (Rigas) and the fewest goals scored (Grobiņa), so a victory for the hosts with a clean sheet is quite logical.
