Possible nail-biting contest in Palanga - Atlantas game

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Palanga form and stats

The story so far in the A Lyga for Palanga, who have the fewest points (10) at home in A Lyga, at their home stadium (Centrinis miesto stadionas) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats.

The fans are hoping that Palanga will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the A Lyga game against Panevėžys. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Stumbras.

This is expected to be a close game, with Palanga perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Palanga as a small favourite), we find two games. Palanga has won 2 of these, drawn 0 and lost 0.

The manager V. Geraschenko will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Dziugas Telsiai in only three days.

Palanga are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 attempts. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

Atlantas form and stats

There's been little loot from Atlantas's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 10 away games in the A Lyga. Atlantas only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.

The manager V. Dobrecovs was unhappy after their last game, a A Lyga match played at their home ground Centrinis miesto stadionas. Atlantas suffered a 0-2 loss to Panevėžys. Before that, Atlantas travelled to Trakai and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Atlantas in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Atlantas, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Atlantas as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. Atlantas have conceded 22 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Atlantas - Palanga 2-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last six meetings: 2 - 2 - 2 (Palanga wins - draws - Atlantas wins). As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 had two or less.
