National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Dainava or Atmosfera that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Dainava nor Atmosfera as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Dainava form and stats
Action has already taken place for Dainava in Lithuanian Cup as they have defeated Aukstaitija to reach the 2nd Round. Dainava was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Lithuanian Cup.As mentioned below, Dainava are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 1. Lyga games. Dainava haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Džiugas Telšiai, 284 days ago. Two home wins in a row for Dainava bring valid hopes of a third.
Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Trakai II.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the 1. Lyga game versus Jonava in only three days. This game is also played here at Alytaus m. centrinis stadionas.
Dainava has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Atmosfera form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Tera in order to reach 2nd Round of Lithuanian Cup. They also participated in Lithuanian Cup last season. This ended in the 2nd round.It's not happening yet for Atmosfera on their 1. Lyga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Atmosfera seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The supporters enjoyed Atmosfera's previous game versus Kauno Zalgiris II, a 1. Lyga 1-0 win played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 4-2 at Tera.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Atmosfera manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Panevezys II.
Atmosfera have the goal stats of 1-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Dainava two wins, one draw and Atmosfera zero victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Dainava missing players
