RFS Team News
Before this round, RFS is in second place in the table, with one point less than the first-placed Riga FC. The home team is playing phenomenally this season, and they are the only team in the league that is undefeated after twenty rounds. Also, with 51 goals scored, they are the most efficient team in the league, and with only eight conceded, they are by far the best defense in Latvia.
Two of those eight goals conceded by RFS came in the previous round, in a derby with title contender Riga FC. RFS was the better opponent for most of the match, and after half an hour of the game, they had a 0:2 advantage. However, with a goal in stoppage time, the host managed to get a critical point and keep first place.
Before that match, RFS had a streak of four victories, with a total goal difference of 18:2, and we believe that they will continue with convincing games in the Latvian championship in the match with Jeglava.
Rīgas derbijā neizšķirts. Bijām priekšā ar 2:0, bija vairākas ļoti labas iespējas iesist vēl, taču šoreiz uzvaru izcīnīt liedza kompensācijas laikā ielaistie vārti. Paldies par fantastisko atbalstu! Spēli klātienē vēroja gandrīz 5 000 skatītāju. 🤩 pic.twitter.com/dVessYiXKL

Jelgava Team News
After half of the championship, Jelgava is in eighth place in the table, with a point more than BFC, which is placed in a position that leads to the playoff with teams from a lower rank. Given the fluctuating form throughout the season, it is sure that we will see an exciting fight for survival between the five teams until the end of the championship.
In the last round, Jelgava had the opportunity to make a more significant point difference in a direct duel against the competitor for survival, BFC. Although they had the lead until the end of the match, BFC managed to equalize in the 88th minute, much to the delight of the home fans.
Before this draw, Jelgava recorded four defeats and only one victory, and, certainly, their chances against one of the best teams in the league are theoretical.

RFS vs Jelgava Prediction
RFS is the best team in the league, and it was only because of a lack of concentration in last week’s derby with Riga that they missed first place in the table. Given that Jelgava is playing in terrible form, and they are probably in a psychological slump after the missed points against BFC, we believe the host will routinely triumph in this duel.
