Minija form and stats

There's been little loot from Minija's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 12 away games in the 1. Lyga. Minija only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Minija's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Minija had fun at their own home last time out, beating Ekranas 3-0. Those three points felt sweet as this club had gone five league matches without winning.

A 1-2 defeat away at Be1 NFA before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Minija as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. As for defending, Minija rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 23 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Minija have avoided defeat in the last 4 fixtures (3-1-0) against BFA.

The dueling parties have met before this season: Minija - BFA 3-1.
