Can 'Daugavpils' also stop the other Riga club?
After a surprise draw against 'Riga', 'Daugavpils' will face another Riga powerhouse – RFS. The match takes place on Sunday, June 30, and will be broadcast live on TV4 and Sportacentrs.com.
Intriguing round ahead
On Sunday, June 30, several interesting matches are set to take place in the Latvian Football Virslīga. The spotlight is on the duel between RFS and 'Daugavpils', scheduled for 18:00 at LNK Sporta Parks. 'Daugavpils' have shown surprising form ahead of this game – in the previous round, they managed to keep a clean sheet against the reigning champions 'Riga' (0:0). Now, they face another challenge – RFS, who have won both previous encounters this season (4:1 at home and 1:0 away).
RFS have bounced back after losing the Riga derby, recording two clean-sheet victories – 6:0 against 'Ogre United' and 2:0 away at 'Liepāja'. The match in Liepāja sparked controversy as the hosts received two red cards. Meanwhile, 'Liepāja' have suffered three consecutive defeats and sit in fourth place.
Ogre United – the surprise package
Despite being at the bottom of the table, 'Ogre United' have won two of their last three matches. On June 17, they beat 'Jelgava' 2:0 away, and four days ago, they secured a dramatic 3:2 home victory over 'Tukums 2000' – the winning goal came from a penalty in stoppage time.
