Match description
Rīgas FS is the favorite in this clash: they have 18 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses this season, sitting 2nd, while FS Jelgava has only 6 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses and is 6th. The visitors have scored 54 goals this season (1.91 away on average), and the hosts 24 (1.18 per home match), although in the last 5 games Jelgava scored 11 goals versus Rīgas' 10. Rīgas’ defense is significantly more stable: they concede 0.73 goals on average away, have xG against 0.83 and 55% clean sheets, while Jelgava concedes 1.73 at home, has xG against 1.56 and only 18% clean sheets. Rīgas also creates more quality chances (16.27 average shots and 6.36 on target away vs 11.55 shots and 3.82 on target for Jelgava at home) and controls the ball (62% possession vs 46%). Considering the advantage in goal difference (+13 for Rīgas away vs -6 for the hosts), higher xG (2.02 vs 1.39) and better form (Rīgas 4 wins and 1 draw in 5, Jelgava 3 wins and 2 losses), I assess a 70% chance for an away win, 15% for a draw and 15% for a home win.
