Match description

The favorite appears to be Skanste: they sit 9th versus Smiltene’s 13th and have 3 wins this season while the hosts have 0. In the last 5 matches Skanste recorded 2 wins and 3 losses (PPG 1.2), while Smiltene posted 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses (PPG 0.8). Offensively Skanste averages 1.75 goals away compared to Smiltene’s 1.25 at home, but Skanste also concedes 2.75 goals on average away versus Smiltene’s 2.00 at home. The quality-of-chances model confirms a slight edge for the visitors: xG 1.32 for Skanste away versus 1.08 for Smiltene at home, with xG against 2.17 versus 2.04, indicating many clear chances for both sides. Smiltene has more shots on target (3.0) and a higher conversion rate (16% vs 4%), but Skanste attempts more shots overall (9.33 vs 7.75) and has a better win record, so I give a small advantage to the visitors, although a draw and an open, high-scoring game are realistic.
