VRS Optimists Rēzekne 
The Riga United Ladies are away to Rēzekne on Sunday as they look to follow up the strong display against RFS with the aim of three points.

Venue: RPD Sporta pārvaldes stadions, Rēzekne
Riga United are going to Rēzekne still without a win
from the first two games this season but off the back of one of the
best performances from them, against RFS. Last season the
teams were very evenly matched drawing two and United losing one.
Riga United have been training hard for this game during their two
week break. As Riga will see this game as real measure for
how much they have really improved in a season. From the
previous games, United have shown glimpses and movement which is
vastly improved. Riga United are in full confidence though,
coming from the 5-3 loss to RFS. Despite the scoreline, the
performance didn’t reflect the result and they could count
themselves unlucky they didn’t get anything from that game.
If Riga can bring that intensity and togetherness to Rēzekne, there
is a very strong chance that they will see their first 3 points of
the season. The one thing Justin Walley will be hoping to see
from the team, is an improvement in the use of the ball and keeping
it better. However, both teams are different teams from last
year, so fans should expect a different outcome to last
season.
