The 1. Lyga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Minija and Dainava are placed 11th and 5th respectively.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Minija form and stats
Three 1. Lyga home games done for Minija, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Minija lost their last game at Nevezis (placed 6th) after a 0-4 scoreline. Before that match, a Lithuanian Cup win away at Vidzgiris.
Minija were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Lithuanian Cup game versus Suduva in only four days. This game is also played here at Kretingos miesto stadionas.
Minija have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Kretingos miesto stadionas with 5 goals in 3 league matches. Minija are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Dainava form and stats
Dainava are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the 1. Lyga.
Home advantage was not enough for Dainava in their previous game, as they lost their 1. Lyga-match, hosting Jonava, 0-1. A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Atmosfera.
The schedule is very tough for Dainava now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Lithuanian Cup game at BFA is waiting in only four days.
4 goals so far away for Dainava, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last seven matches): Minija three wins, zero draws and Dainava four victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Minija missing players
