Grobina vs Liepaja prediction: teams form analysis, possible lineups on June 16, 2026
Virsliga Latvia
In the 18th round of the Latvian Virsliga on June 16, 2026, Grobina and Liepaja will face off. The visitors are having a much better season, but their opponents are fighting for crucial points in the battle for survival.
Grobina vs Liepaja: Team News and Expert Analysis
Last season, the club only finished ahead of relegated Metta by a single point. They then defeated Alberts in the play-offs, scoring the only goal across two matches. The new season started with two wins in the first three rounds, but they failed to win again until the start of summer. The 1-3 defeat to RFS was also entirely expected.
The Liepaja team confidently secured a top-three finish last season. This time, repeating that result seems unlikely, so the aim is at least to avoid dropping further. In May, they began to win more regularly, including a 2-1 victory against Super Nova in the last round.
Puzirevskis and his teammates score an average of 0.65 goals per game, conceding almost three times as much—1.71. Alma's men are more successful, but their ratio is still negative: 1.35 goals scored to 1.41 conceded per game.
Previous Matches: Grobina vs Liepaja
