- Competition: Latvia - Virsliga
- Date: Monday, 30th, June 2025
- Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
- Venue: Daugavas stadions (Liepāja)
FK Liepaja will host FK Grobina at Daugavas Stadium on Monday, aiming to strengthen their grip on a top-three spot in the Latvian Virsliga.
The team coached by Dino Skender made the most of Auda’s slip-up and with a convincing 3-1 thumping of bottom dwellers Tukums 2000 climbed right behind front-runners Riga FC and RFS on the table, though they’ll need to stay sharp with only a single-point cushion securing their current European spot.
Meanwhile, FK Grobina are reeling from a disappointing outing where they twice let their lead slip before eventually falling to a dramatic 3-2 defeat at the hands of BFC Daugavpils, although they still maintain a decent four-point cushion above the relegation zone.
FK Liepaja vs FK Grobina Betting Tips : AH1 (-1.5)
This will mark the third of four season meetings between these rivals, with FK Liepaja looking to emulate their dominant display from the reverse fixture when they blew away FC Grobina 4-1, all in an effort to tighten their grip on a spot in the European zone. Among other things, FK Liepaja have truly hit top gear by racking up 13 out of a possible 15 points across their last five Virsliga outings, with only table-toppers Riga FC being more successful in that span, and Dino Skender's men enter Monday's contest with the ambition of stretching their winning run in the league to four. In stark contrast, FK Grobina are going through a particularly turbulent period, as their dramatic 3-2 loss to BFC Daugavpils marked their fourth setback in their last five league outings, placing them firmly among the coldest teams in the upper tier of Latvian football. All signs point to FK Liepaja being primed for another strong outing given their dominant record over FK Grobina with three wins by two or more goals in their recent clashes, which should inspire Skender’s men to go for the jugular and take full advantage of their rival’s ongoing woes in what could turn out to be a fairly one-sided affair.

FK Liepaja team news
Janis Grinbergs has been ruled out for the rest of the year with a nasty knee ligament tear, paving the way for Kirils Iljins to step in at left-back.
Head coach Andreas Alm is expected to stick with nearly the same starting eleven that sparked a fine run of form, collecting 13 points from a possible 15.

FK Grobina team news
The only notable absentee for the visiting side is Denys Galata, who suffered a ligament tear earlier in the season and now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
There’s no doubt that coach Viktors Dobrecovs is concerned about his team’s recent sharp dip in form and feels compelled to make changes to find the right starting eleven.
