- Venue: Tukuma pilsetas stadions (Tukums)
Hoping to stay in touch with the leading pack, BFC Daugavpils heads to Tukuma Pilsetas Stadions for a midweek clash against Tukums 2000 in round 10 of the Virsliga.
Early-season turmoil continued for Tukums as they squandered a halftime lead and ended up empty-handed within a brutal 60-second span late on against Jelgava last time out, leaving them stuck in second-to-last place level on points with the basement boys.
In stark contrast, BFC Daugavpils are showcasing a strong appetite for a European finish this season as their routine 2-0 drubbing of Metta solidified their hold on fourth place in the Virsliga standings, keeping them just only two points shy of Riga in third and five off table-topping RFS.
Tukums vs Daugavpils Betting Tips : BTTS
The visiting side rightly carries the tag of favorites and will aim to replicate the sparkling display from the first meeting when they hammered Tukums 3-0 while keeping their sights firmly set on climbing into the top three. To remain relevant in the race for European qualification throughout the season, Daugavpils will need to shore up their defense, as their current tally of 14 conceded goals makes them one of the most vulnerable teams in the division, with eight of those goals coming from just three away trips so far. Fortunately, the Blues' frontline has proven unstoppable with 18 goals fired into the opposition's net, and in this case, they will face little trouble breaking down Tukums' defensive rampant which has been very porous this term, best illustrated by the fact they've kept opponents under three goals twice in their first eight games. Returning to their home ground, however, provides a slight boost for the men in green, as they’ve earned four of their current five points at home and will look to cause trouble for Daugavpils with the support of their fans, so we expect the hosts to further expose the visitors' defensive weaknesses, but perhaps not enough to claim anything from this match.

Tukums' defense will receive a boost with the return of Maroine Mihoubi, who served a one-match suspension last week and is now ready to return to his usual position.
Under pressure after his team’s four-game losing streak, coach Kristaps Dislers may opt to make some changes to the lineup for Wednesday’s match.
