FS Jelgava - FK Liepaja predictions and free betting tips [02/06/2024]

Today the match between Jelgava and Liepaja will take place as part of the Latvian Virsliga.

Jelgava

Jelgava continues its performance in the Latvian championship, enduring tough times. The last match against Valmiera on 28 May proved to be another challenge for the team. The game ended with a 4-0 victory for the home side. Currently, Jelgava sits in the last, 10th place in the 2024 Latvian championship standings. Over 16 matches played, the team has achieved only 3 wins, suffered 11 losses, and 2 draws. The team’s goal-scoring ability is also underwhelming: scoring 10 goals while conceding 32. At present, Jelgava has 11 points. Valmiera, on the other hand, is positioned 3rd with 33 points after 17 rounds.

Liepaja

Liepaja played a bright and significant match against Grobina on 29 May, securing a confident 3-0 victory. Despite this large victory, Liepaja's situation in the Latvian championship remains challenging. The team occupies 8th place in the league standings for the 2024 season, garnering just 13 points after 16 rounds. Liepaja has 3 wins, 9 losses, and 4 draws, with a total goal difference of 11:26. The team’s form in the last 5 matches (2 losses and 3 draws) indicates an inconsistency in results. Grobina is in 9th place, with the same number of points but after 16 matches.

Prediction for the Jelgava vs Liepaja match

In a match between two bottom teams with the worst attacking records, I expect a low-scoring affair. Both sides find it incredibly difficult to score goals. In May, Jelgava has netted just 2 goals, while Liepaja has scored 6, but only 5 in the first 11 rounds. Hence, betting on TU (total under) seems a plausible prediction.
