Match description
Beitar / Riga Mariners appear to be the favorites: they sit 4th with 11 goals scored and 7 conceded this season, while Smiltene are 12th with 8 scored and 21 conceded. In the last 5 matches the hosts have scored 10 and conceded 7 (2 wins, 3 draws, averaging 1.8 points per game), whereas the visitors have scored only 5 and conceded 18 (0 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses, averaging 0.4 pts per game). The hosts create higher-quality chances: average xG for 1.48 versus xG against 1.17, 10 shots per game and 4 on target with a 15% conversion rate, while Smiltene posts xG for 1.00 and xG against 2.91, 7.67 shots and 4 on target with 13% efficiency. The visitors’ defence is the main weakness – on the road they concede on average 5.0 goals per game and have 67% of away matches without scoring, whereas the hosts concede 1.5 goals at home on average and remain unbeaten this season (0 losses). Given the superior xG, higher possession (51% vs 39%) and clearly worse form and defence of the opponents, I back the home win.
