Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Trakai & Banga face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Lithuanian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Banga have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 18-6-11 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.
