Meanwhile, Latvia contested it’s [Super Cup](https://balticfootballnews.com/?p=7194 "The season in Latvia opens with RFS winning the Super Cup in the Rīga derby"), which saw **RFS** face off against **Riga FC** and win 3-1. Latvian regular season begins on the 5th of March. GW1 was not expected to bring significant changes to the Rankings, even taking into account the inevitable period of ‘real world’ calibration. Most teams moved one place up or down, whereas others stayed where they were, albeit with a change in the coefficient. **FC** **RFS**, on the back of their win over **Riga FC**, for example, gained 10 coefficient points while Riga FC lost the same amount. While this did not affect the positioning of Top 2 leaders in the Baltics, it did bring Lithuanian Champions **FK Žalgiris**, who won both the Lithuanian Super Cup and their first league fixture, within mere 32 points of the wealthiest club in the Baltics. **Paide**, **Kauno Žalgiris** and **Tammeka** have each climbed a spot on the back of expected wins in their domestic Championships, but **Hegelmann**‘s 2-0 defeat to a lower-ranked **Banga** side cost them 15 coefficient points which dropped last season’s A Lyga runner-up’s a whopping 3 places down to 15! With only a point advantage over the Latvian **FK Metta**, Hegelmann will need to get a result against FK Panevėžys in GW2 to avoid falling into the second half of the Power Rankings table. Metta, on the other hand, will face favourites **Liepāja** in the opening match of Latvian Virslīga and, in the event of a win, could catapult themselves as high as 12th. GW2 in the Baltics will conclude on the 9th of March, at which point we will check back on how the teams in the region stack up against one another! Expect more movement from the Latvian clubs, which will finally begin their season!
