The league table in A Lyga tells a story about these teams so far, with Sūduva leading Trakai by 30 points. Match preview to follow:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sūduva form and stats
This stadium has been a fortress for Sūduva in the A Lyga so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-2-0. There’s a good atmosphere here after three straight home wins.
The Sūduva supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Trakai in A Lyga and win 7-1. Heartbreak before that as Sūduva lost 0-2 at KuPS's place.
As mentioned above, Sūduva "killed" Trakai in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. J. Tadic was absolutely essential when Sūduva beat Trakai 7-1, scoring four goals.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Sūduva home games with this odds we find three games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in three wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.
Sūduva have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 17 goals in 9 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Sūduva have only let in 2 goals at home.
Trakai form and stats
There's been little loot from Trakai's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the A Lyga. Trakai, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in A Lyga, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Trakai are desperate to end a 15-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Zalgiris fixture.
Trakai play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-7 to Sūduva (placed 1st). Preceding that, the 1-5 home loss versus Slovan Liberec.
Trakai lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-7 beating and focus on this one.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Trakai played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected zero times.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Trakai as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. Trakai struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 16 goals conceded from these games.
