A key match in 1. Lyga as both teams are battling for the top positions. With the home team in 2nd position and the visitors placed 3rd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
Banga and Nevėžis should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Nevėžis have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 7-1-2 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
Banga form and stats
Banga have performed here at Gargždų miesto stadionas this season with 9 wins from 12 1. Lyga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 0 games and lost 3. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Banga, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Banga fans got no joy from their last match, a Lithuanian Cup game also here at Gargždų miesto stadionas: A 0-4 defeat against Suduva. Before that, Banga played out a 1. Lyga draw 2-2 when visiting BFA.

Nevėžis form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (59) in 1. Lyga, are W6-D1-L6 on the road this term. That's in the 1. Lyga. Bitter travels for Nevėžis as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Kupiskis.
Nevėžis delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against FA Siauliai (placed 5th) in their previous match; a 1. Lyga game. A 3-4 defeat away at Vilniaus Vytis before that.
Nevėžis have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 29 goals from 13 away matches. In the opposite end, Nevėžis have conceded 20 goals in their away games.
