The league leaders host a side still looking over its shoulder at the drop.

RFS should win — they have taken all five meetings and are 11-4-1 at home — but at 1.09 there is nothing to gain from backing it. The one price worth a look is both teams to score, Yes, at 2.2; Tukums were blanked in three of their last six, which is the counter.

Context

RFS went into the week top of the Virslīga and stayed there by beating Super Nova 4-0 on Thursday 15 October in a rescheduled Round 25 game, three goals arriving before half-time. The gap to Riga FC is four points, so every remaining home fixture carries title weight, and Monday's visitors are a side sitting just above the relegation place. RFS also had only four days between that match and this one, which makes attacking rotation a live question. The four-point figure reflects the table immediately after Thursday's win and can move again with results elsewhere in this round.
- RFS beat Super Nova 4-0 on 15 October in the rescheduled Round 25 fixture, leading 3-0 at half-time.
- The goals came from Žiga Lipušček, Alfa Baldé, Jānieks Ikaunieks and Duje Korač from the penalty spot.
- RFS stayed top of the table, four points ahead of Riga FC, after that result.

Tukums sit just above the relegation place, six points clear of Ogre United with four matches left, and they arrive at the leaders after a 0-2 home defeat by Riga FC on 10 October. That margin gives a point real value, which can shape how deep and how conservatively a side protects itself away at the strongest team in the league. Their recent away record is poor, so the cushion is not the same as safety. The six-point figure was calculated before this round's fixtures and will be recalculated as Ogre's remaining games are played.
- Ogre United remained six points behind Tukums 2000 with four matches left.
- Ogre needed at least seven more points to stay up at that stage.
- Tukums lost 0-2 at home to Riga FC on 10 October.

RFS put Lemajić back in the starting XI for Thursday's 4-0 win over Super Nova, a selection the club framed as a return to the line-up. With only four days between that game and this one, the forward options available matter more than usual, and a recently started striker widens what the coaches can choose from in a week where rotation is plausible. One start is not evidence of the Monday XI, and no injury or fitness detail has been published about him. Read this as restored availability in a squad managing a short turnaround.
- RFS described Darko Lemajić and Alfa Baldé as returning to the starting XI for the Super Nova match on 15 October.
- RFS won that match 4-0, with four different players scoring.
- D. Lemajić started 1 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
- R. Ndjiki started in the same position in 4 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups when D. Lemajić did not start.

RFS have won all five meetings, but the last four finished 1-2, 3-1, 0-1 and 2-4, so the 6-2 is a ceiling rather than the expected margin. Tukums' four away draws this season suggest they can keep a game tight even without winning it.
- 26 July 2025: RFS 6-2 Tukums at home in the Virslīga.
- That remains the widest scoreline of the five recorded meetings between the clubs.
