Dečić vs Liepāja: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Tuzi earned the same 51 points as Petrovac last season. However, due to additional criteria, they conceded third place to their rival. They also failed to retain the cup title, losing to Mornar Bar at the end of May. At least, they managed a draw in a friendly against Vllaznia.
The team from Liepāja finished third in 2025, trailing only the local giants Riga and RFS. Currently, Auda is also ahead in the Virsliga, and the players – who have significantly dropped their form – are now focused on trying to keep at least fourth place, as a higher position is out of reach. Now, they mainly need to defend that spot against Daugavpils.
In Latvia, the visitors held out for more than an hour. But in the 64th minute, Oloko scored, and his goal remained the only one in the match.
