Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Sūduva - Žalgiris!

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 are already the A Lyga winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Žalgiris are staying put at 2nd place whatever happens for the rest of the season.
