A Lyga preview with statistics: Panevėžys welcomes Sūduva to Aukštaitijos stadionas

Sūduva could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a A Lyga game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Kauno Zalgiris, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sūduva.

The story so far in the A Lyga for Panevėžys at their home stadium (Aukštaitijos stadionas) is 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. Panevėžys are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

In their previous game, the manager A. Curtianu led his Panevėžys to a defeat in the A Lyga match away at Zalgiris. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Aukštaitijos stadionas. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sūduva (0-1).

Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Panevėžys. A great winning streak in away games for Sūduva as they have managed to win six matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Zalgiris have they travelled home without three points.

Sūduva play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Kauno Zalgiris (placed 4th). Prior to that match, a home win 4-2 against Zalgiris in the Lithuanian Cup.

As mentioned earlier, Sūduva will not be satisfied unless they get maximum points from this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 5 wins (5 by two or more goals winning margin), 0 draws and 0 surprising defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sūduva are hosting Banga in the Lithuanian Cup only four days away.
