Hegelmann Litauen vs Žalgiris Kaunas: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Raudondvaris finished second last season with 67 points. However, they have noticeably dropped in the standings this year and are now among the mid-table teams. In May, they went on a four-match unbeaten run, but ended the month with a 1-2 defeat away to Transinvest.
The Kaunas team was only founded in 2004, but claimed their first ever title last season. Now they are trying to defend it, but Džiugas are looking just as strong. Most importantly, after a powerful start, their form dipped: four consecutive draws, followed by defeats to Sūduva and "fellow club" from Vilnius.
The vice-champions are now scoring just 1.06 goals per match, conceding a third more—1.5 per game. The title holders still have excellent stats: 2.13 goals scored per match and only 0.81 conceded.
