Metta/LU will be looking to continue what has been an impressive season so far when they travel to Jana Dalina to take on reigning champions Valmiera on Wednesday afternoon.
The hosts Valmiera go into this match with a lot of confidence, having avoided defeat in each of their last five league matches. They scored a total of eight goals in that period, which shows how good their offensive line is. Considering the fact that they have also been playing very well on home soil of late - four wins from their last five home games - they go into this match as favourites to take the three points.
Metta, on the other hand, enter this game on the back of a humiliating 3-1 defeat to Auda, which ended their run of six unbeaten matches. Just like the champions, Andris Riherts' men have no problem scoring goals this season. By comparison, the visitors have already scored 22 goals, just two fewer than in the entirety of last season.
Valmiera FC vs FS Metta/LU Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Considering the offensive strength of both teams, it is hard not to expect goals in Wednesday's game. Four of Metta's last five games have ended with at least four goals, and considering that an average of three goals per game were scored in the last seven encounters between these two teams, we are expecting at least three goals.

FS Metta/LU team news
Head coach Andris Riherts is bound to make major changes to his Metta/LU side that started Sunday afternoon's 3-1 defeat to Auda. Zurab Rukhadze, Daņiils Čiņajevs and Rendijs Šibass Rendijs are among those who could benefit from this shake-up.
Artjoms Puzirevskis is the visitors' top scorer this season with four goals and should lead the line, while Ousmane Sow (three assists) would be the man to keep an eye on in the middle of the park.
