Panevėžys and Kauno Žalgiris have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the A Lyga.

The hosts Panevėžys saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the A Lyga. This match was also played here at Aukštaitijos stadionas. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Kauno Žalgiris have had more rest.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kauno Žalgiris have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-5-19 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.
