Match preview A Lyga: Kauno Žalgiris - Trakai at S. Dariaus ir S. Girėno stadionas
The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Kauno Žalgiris are in the 3rd position while the guesting Trakai worry at 6th.
Best bookmaker betting odds:
It's no vacation for neither Žalgiris nor Trakai 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Trakai have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 6-5-2 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
Kauno Žalgiris form and stats
Overall A Lyga stats at home this season for Kauno Žalgiris are 2-0-2 (wins-draw-losses).
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Deividas Mikelionis not having conceded a league goal in 180 minutes.
Previous to that game, a A Lyga home match hosting Banga in a game that was won 2-0.
As mentioned above, Žalgiris "killed" Sveikata in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Kauno Žalgiris are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Defensively Kauno Žalgiris have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 4 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Trakai form and stats
1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Trakai playing as the away team in the A Lyga this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Trakai as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Banga match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Trakai have lost on their last two travels.
Michael and D. Kazlauskas scored in Trakai's previous match, the home game against Banga that ended 2-0. A 1-2 defeat away at Panevezys before that.
The attacking power of Trakai when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. As opposed to that, Trakai have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Trakai - Žalgiris 0-3. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Kauno Žalgiris wins - draws - Trakai wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.Top Goalscorers
