National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's BFA or Nevėžis that keep their silverware dream alive.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a A Lyga game only three days ago.
BFA form and stats
Last season their Lithuanian Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 1. Lyga this season. BFA have only managed 1 win, 0 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Vilniaus Sportimos maniezas. The home stadium (Vilniaus Sportimos maniezas) is supposed to be a fortress, but for BFA it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
An away draw last time out for BFA, facing Suduva II in a game that ended 3-3. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Ahead of that match, BFA lost 0-2 at home to Jonava.BFA are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as BFA have let the opposition score 20 times, an average of more than three per game.

M. Butkus scored in Nevėžis's previous match, the home game against Džiugas Telšiai that ended 2-1.
A loss against Hegelmann Litauen was the result prior to that, in a A Lyga home game.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nevėžis as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Nevėžis can't defend away. 24 goals have been scored by the opposition in 8 matches, an average of more than three per game.
