FK Zalgiris Vilnius vs Stumbras
Zalgiris Vilnius was appointed to host Lithuania’s 13th league match day against Kaunas Stumbras. They were only given a 5-day pause to prepare for the match after appearing in the Lithuanian Cup. Clashes opened Friday (31/5) at the LFF Stadium.
Zalgiris Vilnius appeared until Sunday (26/5) facing Atlantas in the round of 16 of the Lithuanian Cup, and managed to steal the position 0-2 despite playing as a visitor. In addition to helping them qualify for the next round, the victory was also the answer right after losing 1-0 at FK Suduva headquarters three days earlier.
Meanwhile, Stumbras Kaunas had already qualified for the same phase thanks to a 1-2 victory at Radviliskis headquarters. This momentum will be used to continue to run on the winning path after having only reaped 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats in the league competition.
Yes, Kaunas Stumbras predicted it would be difficult to face Zalgiris Vilnius with a record as bad as that. Because, the results of last weekend helped the hosts record 4 wins in 6 domestic parties where all 3 home games yesterday ended as winners. In addition, they are also in an effort to pursue the top position with a difference of 5 points from the second place, while burdening the Kaunas Stumbras which is currently held in rank 5.
The ambition of the hosts intensified after last April sank 1-0 at the Stumbras Kaunas headquarters, the first defeat after getting a winning streak in the previous 3 matches with a 7-0 aggregate.
Our Prediction: 1
