Season ticket holders at Aukštaitijos stadionas haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Panevėžys languishing in the 6th position so far. The guesting Banga will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Panevėžys have less rest than Banga in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a A Lyga game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Trakai, so at least Panevėžys are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Banga play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Banga when playing on grass are 17 wins, 7 draws and 11 defeats from 35 matches. They have scored 46 goals and conceded 35 times in these games.
Panevėžys form and stats
With 2 A Lyga wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Panevėžys, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in A Lyga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.
An away draw last time out for Panevėžys, facing Trakai in a game that ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Lithuanian Cup home game that ended 1-1 versus Suduva (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties).
The Panevėžys fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. Panevėžys have conceded 14 from these games.
Banga form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Banga, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in A Lyga, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose). With the Banga losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Banga seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Banga's previous game was their home loss versus Zalgiris (0-4). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Suduva.
Banga lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Banga have conceded 12 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
