Kauno Žalgiris II vs BFA match preview
This match features two teams living in the basement of the 1. Lyga, Kauno Žalgiris II holding 13th place and BFA lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Best bookmaker betting odds:
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Lithuanian Cup.
Kauno Žalgiris II form and stats
Kauno Žalgiris II have less points than they have played home games in the 1. Lyga so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Žalgiris with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Vilniaus Vytis game, 43 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Žalgiris are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Nacionalinės futbolo akademijos stadionas, having lost their two previous games here.
Žalgiris faced defeat in their previous match, away at Trakai II (1-4). Ahead of that match, Žalgiris lost 2-5 at home to Žalgiris II.
At Nacionalinės futbolo akademijos stadionas, Kauno Žalgiris II has the goal stats of 2-8 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
BFA form and stats
It's not happening yet for BFA on their 1. Lyga travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for BFA who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Hegelmann Litauen was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on I. Švabovičius, the BFA manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
BFA failed to get anything from their last game, a Lithuanian Cup home match vs Dainava (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 1-2.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far BFA have scored 3 goals in 3 league games away. The BFA defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 12 goals in their away games.
