Match description

Valmiera/BSS holds a clear offensive edge and superior form: 19 goals in the last 5 matches and 4 wins, averaging 2.4 points per match in that period, while Mārupe scored 8 goals and averages 1.4 points per match over the last five. The visitors register an average of 11 shots on target away versus 7.5 for the hosts and have a higher conversion rate (24% vs 20%), indicating better quality of created chances despite a similar goals-per-game average (around 4). Mārupe defends extremely well at home: 100% home wins, an average of 0 goals conceded per match and xG against of only 0.69, which makes it very difficult for opponents to score easily. Conversely Valmiera concedes on average 1 goal away and has xG against of 1.81 plus 9 goals conceded in the last 5 matches, so the game could be open and high-scoring; however, given Valmiera’s superior finishing and form (19 goals, 11 shots on target and 24% conversion), I forecast an away win with a moderate risk of a draw.
