Valmiera Glass VIA secured an 87:91 victory over Vimsy on Saturday night at the Latvian-Estonian League fixture on 2026-10-11. The away side maintained their push for a top-three finish, while the hosts continued their struggles at the bottom of the table. It was a game that reflected the disparity in form between the two sides heading into the weekend.
Vimsy sit in 10th place after 26 games, having managed just seven wins from their campaign so far. Valmiera, by contrast, occupy third position with 20 victories and only six defeats. The gap in ambition was visible from the opening tip-off, though the visitors did not take their lead for granted.
The away side have been consistent this season, winning four of their last five matches before this encounter. Their recent results include a 106:82 victory over Keila KK and a 98:76 win against Ventspils. Vimsy, meanwhile, have lost five of their last six outings, including defeats to Riga Juniori and TallTech.
We had tipped the visitors in our preview, suggesting a Valmiera win with 70% confidence. By then, the form lines made that assessment feel almost inevitable — the hosts had not found a rhythm, while the away side were stringing together results. The prediction held up, though the margin of 87:91 suggested Vimsy would not roll over without a fight.
The result extends Valmiera's unbeaten run and keeps them in touch with the leaders. For Vimsy, the loss leaves them 19 games adrift of their first win of the season. The standings tell the story: seventh place has 22 points, with Vimsy still searching for their first victory of 2026.
