Only three points good enough for Banga in Nevėžis game

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a A Lyga game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Panevezys. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Nevėžis's usual surface at their own arena. When playing on artifical turf Nevėžis have performed like this: Played ten matches yielding 3 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats with the goal stats 11-19 (scored/conceded).

Banga form and stats

5-3-9 (win-draw-lost) are the A Lyga numbers at home for Banga so far this season. When Banga hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Dainava, Banga and Dziugas Telsiai), they have won 3 of 4 matches!

Banga drew their last game, also a home match. Dainava (placed 8th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Trakai the opponent.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Banga as they are travelling to their away game against Kauno Zalgiris in the A Lyga. That match is four days after this one.

The Banga fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 17 matches. Banga are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (34 from 17 played). Banga has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Nevėžis form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nevėžis so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-15 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Nevėžis have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 16 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Dainava game.

Nevėžis are looking to quickly end their 190 minutes long goal drought in the A Lyga.

There might be some fixture complaints from Nevėžis as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the A Lyga match against Panevezys (0-3). Nevėžis did not look prepared in the first half against Panevezys and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.

A 0-3 loss hosting Suduva before that.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Nevėžis's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won two of these as expected, two of them by at least two goals. Nevėžis managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Trakai in just four days.

Nevėžis are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 7 goals from 17 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Nevėžis's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 48 goals in 17 travels.

Head 2 Head

The teams involved played each other earlier on this season: Nevėžis - Banga 0-3. Head to head numbers (for the former ten meetings): Banga won five games, two matches ended with a tie and Nevėžis managed three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
