• Today, three games with the participation of Latvian teams will take place in the tournament, but our teams will fight each other in the first due day, when “Valmiera Glass / ViA” will host “University of Latvia” basketball players in its field. Both teams with six wins in 22 games in the tournament table will be next and the winner will be in the tenth position.
• In the first battle of both units in December, the students trained by Gunta Endzel succeeded with the brigade trained by Edmund Valeiko with 68:60. In recent months, the people of Valmiera have accumulated more victories and now the teams are on the adjacent steps of the tournament table.
• The calendar of the Latvian-Estonian league is arranged so that the last six games of the regular season “Ogre” are spent at home. After this week’s success over the students of the University of Latvia, the Ogre players will play the second game in their long home fight series against the Latvian-Estonian league debutant “Viimsi” of this season, who has proved his ambitions on the field, fighting fiercely for the fourth place in the regular season.
• Ronalds Zaķis and the “Viimsi” team will play the second game in two days. Yesterday, Estonia’s farthest northern team got on the bark from the Latvian championship team “VEF Rīga”. The “Ogre” team, trained by Uldis Švēde, has intensified in the long run before the spring fights, therefore Zaķis will be able to face Lithuanian Matu Jucik and Latvian center Lauri Blauu.
• At 19:00 in the evening, the game will start in Liepaja, where local basketball players will host the play-off “Avis Rapla”. The Estonians visited Ventspils yesterday, where they lost 81:91.
• For the Liepaja coaches trained by Artūrs Visocka-Rubenis, the success against “Rapla” represented by Ričards Vanags (Arnolds Helmanis is now out of order) would be very useful to fight for a better position in the Latvian teams at the end of the season and avoid meeting in the LBL quarterfinals against Ogre.
All games will be live Sportacentrs.com portal, but the match from Ogre will also be available to watch on TV4.
