A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Žalgiris fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Banga's 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Žalgiris have the fewest conceded goals (13) in A Lyga
- Banga have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Mura, so at least Žalgiris are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Banga's home stadium. The visitors last 37 games on grass have ended in 14 wins, 7 draws and 16 losses.
Žalgiris form and stats
21 points is a decent return from 10 A Lyga games here at Vilniaus LFF stadionas for Žalgiris. The data says 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Žalgiris, as their goalkeeper Edvinas Gertmonas has completely shut out the opponents for 360 minutes in the A Lyga.
The home team returns to Vilniaus LFF stadionas after being equal after 90 minutes with Mura on their last time out; the Europa League game ended 0-0.
Before that game, the home loss against Ferencvaros with the scoreline 1-3.The match schedule is unforgiving for Žalgiris as they have a new game in only three days, a Europa League match thankfully also at home. Mura are visiting.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (21 in 10 games), Žalgiris's attacking play is working. Žalgiris are not conceding a lot of goals here at Vilniaus LFF stadionas in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.
Banga form and stats
There's been little loot from Banga's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the A Lyga. Banga only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.
Impressive finishing from R. Vėževičius and D. Romanovskij secured the home win 2-1 against Dziugas Telsiai in their previous game.
Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Hegelmann Litauen.With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Banga as the away team, we found three results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, one draw and two defeats. The outsiders lost two of these games by at least two goals.
The schedule is very tough for Banga now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A A Lyga game at Panevezys is waiting in only four days.
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Banga, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
