Žalgiris form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (47) in A Lyga, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 0 draws and only 3 losses in the A Lyga. The fact that Žalgiris have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Žalgiris have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

Žalgiris play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 5-1 victory visiting Nevėžis. Preceding that game was the away A Lyga victory against Stumbras with the score of 3-0.

As mentioned earlier, Žalgiris will not be satisfied unless they get maximum points from this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 4 wins (3 by two or more goals winning margin), 1 draw and 1 surprising defeat.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Žalgiris are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Žalgiris as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
