Panevėžys travel to Palanga with space in suitcase for three points

It's no vacation for neither Palanga nor Panevėžys 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.

Palanga form and stats

With 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Palanga, who have the fewest points (7) at home in A Lyga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Klaipėdos centrinio stadiono atsarginė aikštė) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Palanga it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around? Palanga has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager A. Gorlov and the players.

The Palanga fans got no joy from their last match, a A Lyga game also here at Klaipėdos centrinio stadiono atsarginė aikštė: A 1-2 defeat against Panevėžys. Heartbreak before that as Palanga lost 0-4 at Kauno Zalgiris's place.

The Palanga fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Palanga have conceded 15 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Panevėžys form and stats

Panevėžys have only collected 2 points from their away games after 0-2-4 (6 played). Panevėžys has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Panevėžys play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Palanga. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Žalgiris.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Panevėžys as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games. Panevėžys have conceded 9 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Palanga - Panevėžys 1-2. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 4 Palanga victories, 2 draws and 4 Panevėžys wins. 6 of these games ended with three goals or more, 4 matches with two goals or less.
