Banga form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Banga's two home games in the A Lyga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Gargždų miesto stadionas.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Banga, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 193 minutes in the A Lyga.

A good away victory last time out for Banga, who won 1-0 against Hegelmann Litauen (placed 7th). Before that, Banga had a home game versus Dainava which ended with a victory 2-0.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Kauno Žalgiris are coming to town in four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Banga's 2 home games: 3 goals, 2 conceded.

Nevėžis form and stats

There's been little loot from Nevėžis's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 7 away games in the A Lyga. Nevėžis, who have the fewest scored goals (4) in A Lyga, only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Nevėžis, having lost six matches in a row as the visiting team. It's looking increasingly bleak for Nevėžis who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Dainava was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Nevėžis lost away at Panevėžys (2-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 0-4 defeat away at Trakai before that.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Panevėžys was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

A quick return to home after this game, as Nevėžis are hosting Dainava in the A Lyga only three days away.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Nevėžis's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 19 goals in 7 travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - three - five (Banga wins - draws - Nevėžis wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
