Riga, Latvia – The 14th round of the Latvijas futbola Virslīga kicks off today at Skonto Stadium as Liepāja meets Riga. Fans can catch the live broadcast on Sportacentrs.com, with TV4 also showing the second half of the match.
The encounter between Liepāja and Riga is set for 7 p.m. and promises to be an exciting showdown. Liepāja recently caused a stir by defeating defending champions RFS 2-1, marking their first victory over the team in four and a half years.
However, Liepāja’s performance has been inconsistent lately. Prior to their surprising victory over RFS, they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Grobiņa and played out a 2-2 draw against Tukums 2000.
Unfortunately for Liepāja, they will be without Amadū Traorē, who is serving a two-match suspension handed down after the 12th round.
On the other hand, Riga is riding high after a narrow 1-0 win over Daugavpils, which positioned them at the top of the Virslīga standings alongside RFS.
In their first match of the season, held earlier in the year, Riga dominated Liepāja with a scoreline of 5-2.
