It's still early in the A Lyga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Sūduva - Žalgiris preview!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Sūduva form and stats
As mentioned below, Sūduva are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 A Lyga games.
A good away victory last time out for Sūduva, who won 3-1 against Trakai (placed 5th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Panevėžys with a 3-1 scoreline.
