Tukums vs Auda Prediction 06.06.2023

• Competition: Latvia - Virsliga
• Date: Tuesday, 6th, June 2023
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17.00 CEST
• Venue: Tukuma pilsetas stadions (Tukums)

After the newly promoted SK Super Nova, FC Tukums is the team with the weakest budget in the top tier of Latvian football, so it is clear that this season they will be one of the candidates for moving to the lower tier. Admittedly, The Yellow-Blacks played beyond their capabilities last season and deservedly extended their stay in the first league. However, their start of this year's edition of the "Virsliga" does not look promising, given that they have collected a miserable 15 points from 16 played rounds, which means that only a point keeps their heads above the surface of the water.

On the other side is Auda. Although they are playing only their second season in the strongest football league in Latvia, the leaders have invested a lot in this club lately, which is why them are expected to fight for a place on the international stage. Already halfway through the season, we can state that the club from Kekava does not have enough weapons to hunt for the Virsliga title, since they are behind by a huge 20 points behind the current leader RFS. With 22 points won, The Black and Greens are 4th with four points less than the third-placed Valmiera, which holds the last European ticket.

Tukums vs Auda Betting Tips: Team2 to Win

The players of FC Auda want all three points at any cost in order to keep the step behind the third-placed Valmiera at the very least. However, bearing in mind that The Black and Greens experienced five defeats in their last six visits to "Tukuma Pilsetas Stadium", it is clear that the match against Tukums will be anything but a walk in the park. Especially, if we say that the same Tukums inflicted them a serious blow in the first clash of the season, demolishing it with a convincing 3-0.

Although The Yellow-Blacks welcome FC Auda with two consecutive triumphs, their home record is far from positive, as a hard-earned 3-2 victory over bottom-placed SC Super Nova is their only success in their previous six home games, suffering four defeats during that time.

After all, what we can notice is that FC Tukums still has the same difficulty as in the previous season. With 36 conceded goals from 16 rounds (more than two goals on average per match), it is clear that helmsman Kristaps Dislers failed to solve that problem and patch up the holes in the defense of his team.

Meanwhile, the players of FC Auda made a good overture before the next visit, achieving consecutive victories over Metta/LU (3-1) and Jelgava (1-0). What certainly gives optimism before the 17th Matchday is that their last two victims are better positioned in the table than Tukums, which is only one place above the danger zone.

The Black and Greens, by the way, proved to be good guests in recent weeks. Before the 0-2 loss to current leaders RFS, FC Auda were on a five-match unbeaten run (W2; D3). Quality, playing staff, experience ... all this is on the side of the guests who desperately want to get revenge on Tukums for the painful defeat from the first part of the season.
