Palanga form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Palanga, who have the most conceded goals (61) in A Lyga, so far with only 3 A Lyga points returning home. The records show 1-0-10 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Palanga who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Stumbras was the last time a defeat was avoided. four defeats in a row for Palanga in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Stumbras.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a A Lyga home defeat versus Trakai with 1-3 on the scoreboard. It was a Lithuanian Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Banga wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Palanga's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won 2 of these as expected, 2 of them by at least two goals. Palanga managed 0 draws and 0 surprise wins.

Palanga are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 11 games (in the league). Palanga are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 11 goals in these matches.
