Sibongiseni’s picks

Based on the recent form of both Vamiera Glass and FS Metta, this looks a match worth avoiding, even if you are an ardent fan of the Latvian Virsliga, especially as there is a 2018 Fifa World Cup to watch. Glass and Metta are both struggling and in the midst of a relegation battle.

With three matches before the eight-team Latvian league finishes, Glass are bottom of the standings, with just a point after 11 matches and have lost seven matches in a row. Metta are not much better. They are second from bottom, with just three points in 11 matches and have lost four in a row going into this one.

A win for Metta could send them to within two points of safety, depending on the performance Jelgava, who are above them. I feel sorry for those who will be watching this but I think Metta will win it. Pool Name: S6 V3 P1 M1: Nigeria v Iceland. Super Eagles to win this one. Tip: Nigeria win = 1 M2: Valmiera Glass FK v FS Metta/LU. Previewed above. Tip: FS Metta win = 3 M3: Serbia v Switzerland. Swiss to win it. Tip: Switzerland win = 3 M4: Deportivo Cuenca v Emelec. Win for Emelec. Tip: Emelec win = 3 M5: FK Trakai v Suduva Marijampole. Suduva to win it. Tip: Suduva win = 3 M6: Belgium v Tunisia. Unlucky for the Tunisians.
