Panevėžys have struggled significantly on their travels, losing 10 of their 13 away league fixtures and failing to score in seven of them.

Match preview
Banga welcome Panevėžys to Gargždai sitting fourth in the A Lyga standings with 38 points, aiming to solidify their position near the top of the table. Banga have shown defensive resilience throughout the campaign, conceding only 22 goals across 27 matches, while recording 10 clean sheets overall.
Panevėžys arrive in seventh place with 26 points from 26 matches and have found life difficult on the road this season. They have suffered 10 defeats in 13 away fixtures, scoring just nine goals while allowing 29 in return. Although they secured a 2-0 home victory against FK Žalgiris Vilnius in their previous outing, reproducing that form away from home remains a significant challenge.
