Impressive finishing from Micevicius and Jankauskas secured the home win 3-2 against Suduva in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Čepas when Micevicius scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kauno Zalgiris wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites.
