Struggling Panevėžys will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Žalgiris in the upcoming league round. It’s 7th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It's no vacation for neither Panevėžys nor Žalgiris as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
