General match analysis

Super Nova come into this match in better form, having won 3 of their last 5 fixtures and scored 8 goals in that run, while Liepāja have recorded 2 victories and just 6 goals. The hosts average 1.18 goals per home game, compared with only 0.85 for the visitors away from home, with Liepāja failing to score in as many as 38% of such matches. The away side do create more chances, averaging 14.85 shots and an xG of 1.68 compared with Super Nova’s 9.18 shots and xG of 1.17, but their conversion rate is only 6%, versus 13% for the hosts. Both defences are prone to mistakes, as Super Nova concede an average of 2.00 goals at home and Liepāja 1.92 away, so this match should offer chances at both ends. I give the hosts a slight edge thanks to their clearly stronger recent form and more efficient chance conversion.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS - Yes is more likely, as Super Nova score an average of 1.82 goals per match, while Liepāja concede as many as 1.92 goals away from home. The hosts have scored in 82% of their matches, whereas the visitors have kept a clean sheet in only 15%, clearly favouring at least one Super Nova goal. Liepāja do have a low seasonal average of 0.85 goals, but their xG stands at 1.68, while across their last five matches they created an average of 1.71 xG and scored 1.2 goals. The recent form of both teams further supports a Goal/Goal scenario: BTTS occurred in 80% of Super Nova’s last five matches and in 60% of Liepāja’s, with the teams conceding an average of 1.8 and 1.6 goals respectively. The main risk to the pick is that Liepāja have failed to score in 38% of their matches; however, the hosts’ defensive struggles, reflected in just 18% clean sheets, give the visitors a realistic chance of finding the net.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Super Nova score an average of 1.82 goals per home game, while Liepāja concede as many as 1.92 goals away from home, clearly strengthening the outlook for goals from the hosts. The 1.5 line has been covered in 91% of Super Nova’s matches and 77% of Liepāja’s games, against a league average of 2.96 goals. The last five matches for both teams also had an open profile: Super Nova scored 1.6 and conceded 1.8 goals, while Liepāja recorded 1.2 and 1.6 respectively. xG data remains high on both sides, with the hosts recently creating chances worth 1.63 xG and the visitors 1.71 xG. Over 1.5 is the safest choice, as the expected total of 2.80 goals provides a solid margin above this line, although greater volatility limits the edge on Over 2.5.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Super Nova were leading at the break in 7 of 11 matches, or 64%, while Liepāja were trailing at half-time as many as 8 times in 13 matches (62%). The hosts average 1.00 goals scored and just 0.36 conceded before the break, whereas the visitors score only 0.38 goals and concede 1.08. The overall match figures also favour Super Nova: they win 55% of their matches, while Liepāja lose 62%, conceding an average of 1.92 goals per game. Recent form suggests allowing for a greater risk of a half-time draw, as Super Nova drew at the break in 3 of their last 5 appearances. However, their more effective second-half performance, averaging 1.20 goals across their last five matches, strengthens the scenario of the hosts leading at the break and securing a full-time victory (1/1).
