Sūduva and Žalgiris are both riding high in the A Lyga with their 1st and 2nd positions respectively. Expect a great game!

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a A Lyga match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Trakai, so at least Sūduva are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Sūduva have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one. Žalgiris have already sealed their fate; they will finish in 2nd place no matter what happens.
