Banga vs Žalgiris Vilnius: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Gargždai finished only eighth last season, though they managed to stay ahead of a couple of serious outsiders. Things are going a bit better now, and in April-May they had a lengthy unbeaten run, which was only ended by a 0-1 loss to Panevėžys. However, in the last round, they beat Žalgiris Kaunas.
The historic capital club only finished third in 2025. But now, even that seems unlikely as their slide into mid-table continues. However, they ended the spring with a victory over the champions, their "namesakes" from Kaunas. After that, they also defeated Riteriai and Panevėžys.
Filipavičius and his teammates average 1.28 goals scored and concede 0.72 per game. The visitors from the capital score an average of 1.5 goals per match, conceding 1.11.
