Riga to win
Confidence76%

Riga possess an overwhelming statistical advantage across the campaign, boasting 20 victories in 26 matches and an average of 3.0 goals scored per away game. They have claimed victory in nine of the previous ten head-to-head meetings against Liepaja, outscoring them heavily in the majority of those fixtures. Although Liepaja have respectable numbers at home, the gap in quality and attacking output between the title challengers and mid-table Liepaja points strongly toward an away win.
