The visiting Žalgiris side should be favourites in this visit to Panevėžys, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Panevėžys form and stats
The story so far in the A Lyga for Panevėžys, who have the most conceded goals (24) in A Lyga, at their home stadium (Aukštaitijos stadionas) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
Panevėžys are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Kauno Žalgiris. Ahead of that match, Panevėžys lost 1-2 at home to Žalgiris.
Heartbreak for Panevėžys in their last match as Kauno Žalgiris's D. Vitkus scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
