Match description
The favorites appear to be the visitors – Rīgas FS – so I expect them to win. Rīgas FS have won 5 of their last 5 matches, scoring 15 goals and conceding only 3, while Riga in their last 5 have 4 wins and 1 draw with a 14-4 record. The visitors’ defense is key: Rīgas FS concede an average of 0.67 goals away, keep a clean sheet in 56% of away matches and have conceded 12 goals this season versus Riga’s 18. However, Riga are very effective at home – averaging 2.88 goals per game, higher shot conversion 16% versus Rīgas FS’s 12% and xG 2.18 versus the visitors’ 2.13 – suggesting a competitive match with chances for both sides. Considering the visitors’ perfect away run and superior defensive stability, I assign Rīgas FS approximately a 50% chance to win, 30% for Riga and 20% for a draw.
