⚖️ 7. Handicap

Handicap

The handicap is applied to FK Liepaja, so a minus line means FK Liepaja give that many goals of a start and FS Jelgava receive them. At -1, FK Liepaja must win by two or more to land; a one-goal FK Liepaja win settles as Draw. There is no returned stake - the middle case is its own selection. Taken from the same scoreline distribution as correct score.
