It's early days in the A Lyga and both Kauno Žalgiris and Žalgiris are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- Kauno Žalgiris have the most scored goals (10) in A Lyga
- Žalgiris have the fewest conceded goals (2) in A Lyga
It's no vacation for neither Kauno Žalgiris nor Žalgiris as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Žalgiris have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 8-0-2 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
