Team Form

Suduva Marijampole comes into this match in scintillating form, boasting five consecutive victories. They beat Transinvest 2-1, Siauliai Futbolo Akademija 2-1, Baltija Panevezys 2-0, Dziugas Telsiai 2-0, and Banga Gargzdai 3-0. These results highlight both defensive solidity and attacking efficiency.

Zalgiris Vilnius' recent form is more inconsistent, with two wins and three losses in their last five outings. They secured home wins over Siauliai Futbolo Akademija (1-0) and Dziugas Telsiai (2-0), but suffered away defeats at Baltija Panevezys (0-2) and Hajduk Split (0-4), plus a surprising home loss to Banga Gargzdai (2-3). This volatility raises questions about their reliability on the road.

Head-to-Head Record

The history between these two sides strongly favors Zalgiris Vilnius. In 59 total encounters, Zalgiris has won 26 times, compared to Suduva's 15, with 18 draws.

League Table Positions

Suduva Marijampole sits top of the A Lyga with 48 points from 25 matches (13W, 9D, 3L). They are especially formidable at home, remaining unbeaten with 7 wins and 5 draws, conceding just 6 goals. Zalgiris Vilnius is in 3rd place with 40 points from 25 matches (12W, 4D, 9L). Their away record is solid, claiming 18 points from 12 games.

Win Probability: Suduva Marijampole or Zalgiris Vilnius?

We calculated these probabilities using the inverse odds method, then adjusted for form and H2H. The bookmaker odds of 2.45 for both home and away wins, with 3.20 for a draw, imply a near-even match. After normalizing to remove the margin and weighing Suduva's perfect five-game streak and unbeaten home record against Zalgiris' superior H2H history (26 wins to 15), the outcome percentages are: Suduva Marijampole win: 38%, Draw: 31%, Zalgiris Vilnius win: 31%. Suduva's home strength and form tilt the balance, but Zalgiris' pedigree makes a draw a very real possibility.

Odds & Match Prediction

Bookmakers see this as an evenly matched contest, pricing both a Suduva Marijampole win and a Zalgiris Vilnius win at odds of 2.45, with a draw at 3.20. Based on the stats, Suduva’s flawless recent run and fortress-like home record make them marginally more likely to avoid defeat. The safest betting tip is to back the home side on the double chance, but a precise prediction is challenging given Zalgiris Vilnius' historical dominance in this fixture. A low-scoring draw seems a plausible match outcome, reflecting both teams' defensive capabilities and the tight odds.
