The Lithuanian 1 Lyga delivers another compelling fixture as Panevėžys II face off against Žalgiris II on Monday, June 2, 2025. This game carries contrasting motivations: Panevėžys II fights to escape the depths of the table, while Žalgiris II chases form and momentum in the top half. With both reserve sides representing prestigious parent clubs in Lithuania, expect a lively contest with talented young players looking to prove themselves.
Panevėžys II has endured a difficult run in recent weeks, losing four of their last five games. Their defense has been vulnerable, conceding multiple goals in each outing. The pressure is mounting, and they must turn things around quickly if they hope to survive the season without slipping further into danger. With home advantage, however, this could be their chance to regroup and battle for a result.
Žalgiris II, on the other hand, has demonstrated more consistency this season. Their recent victories have come through disciplined attacking and solid transitions. Sitting in 6th place, they’re aiming to push closer to the promotion-contending sides. Given their recent form and superior head-to-head record in terms of goals scored, they come into this clash as slight favorites.
