This could be an interesting match as Trakai have their presumed home advantage while Žalgiris are ahead 17 points in the A Lyga table.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Lithuanian Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Sūduva. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
