Kauno Žalgiris II form and stats

Kauno Žalgiris II, who have the most conceded goals (26) in 1. Lyga, are still without points from their 1. Lyga away games. 5 games, 5 defeats. Bitter travels for Žalgiris as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Vilniaus Vytis match.

Žalgiris play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-6 to Jonava (placed 2nd). Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against BFA.

Žalgiris lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-6 beating and focus on this one.

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Kauno Žalgiris II we find one game. Results are zero Žalgiris wins, zero draws and one defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Žalgiris as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. The Žalgiris defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 16 goals in their away games.

Jonava - Kauno Žalgiris II 6-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
