Babrungas and Riteriai 2 play lopsided match

| | ,

Outside of Lithuanian borders, there is very little interest for the second division I Lyga match between Babrungas and Riteriai 2. These two teams have had an entirely different performance in the first 10 rounds. Babrungas are flying high with six victories in 10 games, while Riteriai 2 prevailed just once and lost eight games.

A match between them looks like a lopsided affair, with the hosts as huge favorites.

Strong start expected from Babrungas

The hosts are famous for the fact that they come out firing on all cylinders regardless of opponent. In front of their fans, they have been particularly effective at scoring early goals. Not surprisingly, Babrungas lead at half time in four out of six matches and have a crushing performance in home games. Their starting formation isn’t affected by injuries or suspension, so they can do it again.

  • The home side will feature a 4-3-3 team and will try to take control of the game as soon as possible.
  • By doing so, they will take advantage of Riteriai 2’s inability to keep clean sheets on the road.
  • The hosts rarely recover after conceding an early goal, but are excellent at protecting even the narrow streets.

Babrungas is expected to win and we trust them to cover the -1.5 goals spread

Specter of relegation is looming

Only 10 rounds were played so far in the Lithuanian second division and there is plenty of time for the teams to turn their seasons around. Having said this, Riteriai 2 has a single victory in 10 games and seems likely to be relegated. With an average of 2.4 goals conceded per match, the visitors can’t afford to take too many chances on the road against a team such as Babrungas.

  • Riteriai 2 lost four consecutive games and 9 out of 10, so they are right to take everything with a pinch of salt.
  • They will feature a single striker and instead rely on its fast midfielders to catch the hosts on the wrong foot.
  • The odds are stacked against the visitors and they are unlikely to cause an upset on Thursday.
