2nd position in the 1. Lyga table for Banga so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 10th-placed Kupiškis visits Gargzdai Stadium.

Banga have less rest than Kupiškis in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a 1. Lyga game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Gargzdai Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Kupiškis have had more rest. That game was an away game at Atmosfera, so at least Banga are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Kupiškis's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Kupiškis have performed like this: Played four matches resulting in 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 18-13 (scored/conceded).

Banga form and stats

Banga have performed here at Gargzdai Stadium this season with 10 wins from 14 1. Lyga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 3.

Banga's previous game was a 1. Lyga match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus Atmosfera (placed 15th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Jonava.

As mentioned above, Banga "killed" Atmosfera in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The Banga manager A. Šlušnys has got the team scoring with 32 from 14 home games in the league. Banga have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Kupiškis form and stats

5 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Kupiškis playing as the away team in the 1. Lyga this season. Kupiškis has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Kupiškis, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Dainava (placed 5th). A loss against Minija was the result prior to that, in a home game.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kupiškis manager Leonardo Iparraguirre as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against BFA.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Kupiškis are regular goalscorers on their travels. In the opposite end, Kupiškis have conceded 23 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Kupiškis - Banga 0-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Banga, 0 draws and 0 wins for Kupiškis. Over 2,5 goals: 2 times; under 2,5 goals: 1 game.
