• Competition: Optibet Virsliga
• Date: 09.06.2023
• Kickoff: 16:00 UTC/17:00 CEST
• Venue: Vidzemes Olimpiskais centrs (Valmiera)

This season, Valmiera is positioned where it was expected to some extent. They are currently in 3rd place with 26 points with a big deficit to one of Riga and RFS and with only a couple of points more than the teams behind. Therefore, the main task of this team until the end of the season will be to preserve the 3rd place in the table and to qualify for the Conference League.

This season, Riga confirms that, along with RFS, it is the best club in the country. Only 6 conceded goals in 17 matches played are proof of granite defense and the attack is quite solid with 44 goals. By the end of the season, this team expects a big fight with the city rival for the championship title. In the previous round, Rigga beat Metta/Lu 2-0 on the road

Valmiera vs Riga pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Valmiera is one of the few teams in the competition that can surprise FC Riga and maybe take one point and even win, but the home team's problem is their slightly worse form in the previous weeks. The tradition is also solid for the home team, which in the previous two matches at this stadium defeated the rival 3-0 and 3-1.

Now we expect a much tougher match with fewer chances and no more than 2 goals. In the last 3 matches of Valmiera at this stadium, there were under 2.5 goals. Under 2.5 goals is a good opportunity for betting.
