The pattern has been fairly consistent across the sample above. Where the game is played has mattered. Glentoran hold 0-0-1 as hosts in this fixture, and Rīgas FS show 1-0-0 at home, underlining how much home comfort can tilt an otherwise close rivalry one way or the other.

Momentum like that can quickly override what the historical numbers suggest. In percentage terms it reads 0% to Glentoran, 0% drawn and 100% to Rīgas FS. Those splits are a fair guide to what tends to happen, even if any single meeting can buck the trend.
