Team Form

Riga FC come into the match with a solid unbeaten run of five league games (W-W-W-D-D). Their last three were away wins at Tukums 2000 (2-0), Jelgava (1-0), and this same opponent FK Progress Super Nova (1-0), followed by back-to-back home draws against Auda (2-2) and BFC Daugavpils (1-1).
