One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kauno Žalgiris have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-8-10 (win-draw-loss) from 33 matches.

The visiting Kauno Žalgiris played their last game only four days ago, a A Lyga match. That game, against Banga, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Kauno Žalgiris.
