Season ticket holders at Aukštaitijos stadionas haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Panevėžys languishing in the 5th position so far. The guesting Kauno Žalgiris will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Panevėžys have less rest than Kauno Žalgiris in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a A Lyga game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Banga.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Kauno Žalgiris's home stadium. The visitors last 38 games on grass have ended in 14 wins, 5 draws and 19 losses.
Panevėžys form and stats
Panevėžys's results here at Aukštaitijos stadionas in the A Lyga have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
The home team returns to Aukštaitijos stadionas after being equal after 90 minutes with Banga (placed 4th) on their last time out; the A Lyga game ended 3-3. In the game before, an away victory in the Lithuanian Cup match versus Hegelmann Litauen with a 3-0 scoreline.
Late drama in the game against Banga as Panevėžys were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Rafael Floro popped out and made it level in the 90th minute. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The Panevėžys fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
Kauno Žalgiris form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their A Lyga travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Žalgiris have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Deividas Mikelionis. It's been 195 minutes since they last conceded in A Lyga.
Two travels in a row for Žalgiris, whose manager R. Garastas could celebrate last time after the A Lyga win against Trakai. A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Suduva.
Kauno Žalgiris are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. As opposed to that, Žalgiris have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Kauno Žalgiris - Panevėžys 3-2. Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Panevėžys, three draws and five wins for Kauno Žalgiris. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
