Season ticket holders at Kretingos miesto stadionas haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Minija languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Žalgiris II will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Minija form and stats
Minija have played 7 1. Lyga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).
It's back home for Minija, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Trakai II away with the result 5-1. In the game before, an away victory match versus Atmosfera with a 4-0 scoreline.
As mentioned above, Minija "killed" Trakai II in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The Minija manager V. Trakys has got the team scoring with 15 from 7 home games in the league. Minija are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 7 played).
Žalgiris II form and stats
There's been little loot from Žalgiris II's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the 1. Lyga. Žalgiris II only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Žalgiris are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Atmosfera. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Kauno Žalgiris.
It looked so good for Žalgiris vs Atmosfera, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
Žalgiris have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 14 goals from 7 away matches. Žalgiris II are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 14 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Žalgiris II - Minija 3-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last seven meetings): Minija won two games, one match ended with a draw and Žalgiris II has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / twoMinija missing players
