FK Liepaja vs Jelgava Prediction & Betting Tips (23 April)

The recent home form of FK Liepaja has been impressive to say the least, with 15 wins in 18 top-flight matches. Jelgava, by way of contrast, have suffered eight defeats in ten Virsliga trips of late, and they have triumphed only once in 18 away games at this level over the slightly longer term.

Jelgava have not exactly been pulling up any trees in terms of excitement recently, with seven of their last eight matches at the top table of Russian football delivering two goals or fewer. Considering that under 2.5 goals has also been the order of the day in 16 of the previous 20 FK Liepaja home games at this level, something similar is expected in this clash.

Over the course of their last 15 Virsliga matches, Jelgava have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 12 top-flight fixtures involving FK Liepaja.
