Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Dainava & Trakai face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Lithuanian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the A Lyga. That game was also an away game, at Panevėžys. 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.
Dainava form and stats
Last season their Lithuanian Cup adventure ended in the 16th finals.The story so far in the 1. Lyga for Dainava at their home stadium (Alytaus m. centrinis stadionas) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. On the other hand, in the Lithuanian Cup, Dainava has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. With Dainava having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager P. Baliukonis. Dainava has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Baliukonis and the players.
The Dainava fans got no joy from their last match, a 1. Lyga game also here at Alytaus m. centrinis stadionas: A 0-2 defeat against Nevezis. A 1. Lyga defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at FA Siauliai.
Dainava are traveling soon after this match as the 1. Lyga match at Vilniaus Vytis awaits in four days.
Dainava are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Dainava's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Trakai form and stats
They also participated in Lithuanian Cup last season. This ended in the 16th finals.Trakai have only collected 6 points from their away games in the A Lyga, after 1-3-4 (8 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Trakai, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The Zalgiris game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Trakai has drawn their two previous away games.
Trakai are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Panevėžys. Ahead of that match was the A Lyga away draw versus Banga that ended 1-1.
A new game in only three days for Trakai, the A Lyga home match versus Kauno Zalgiris. Busy days.
The attacking power of Trakai when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. As opposed to that, Trakai have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last five meetings: zero - zero - five (Dainava wins - draws - Trakai wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
