Kauno Žalgiris vs Riga
|
Predictions
Kauno Žalgiris are having a rough time. They have lost almost all of their recent games, and several of those defeats were heavy, including a four-goal loss and a five-goal loss. Things are not going well for them at all right now. Riga, on the other hand, are in better shape. They have not won recently, but they have drawn a lot of their matches, so they are harder to beat and stay competitive in most games.
The two teams have not met recently, so there is no history of lots of goals between them to go on. This looks like a close match on paper, but based on recent results it is hard to see Kauno Žalgiris turning things around. Riga look the steadier side, so a win for Riga, or a draw, seems the more likely outcome.
