“Panevežio” football club is facing a very intense period in the “TOPsport A lyga” league on the international front. This coming Sunday, Stijn Vreven's squad faces a tough test - league leaders Vilnius team “Žalgiris”.

This year, the Vilnius team has shown their advantage against “Panevėžys” twice with an identical score of 2:1, once in the Lithuanian championship and once in the 16th final of the “FPRO LFF Cup”. “Žalgiris” has gathered 37 points in 16 matches and is leading the league table - 11 wins, 4 draws, and one loss.

Before the national team break, the capital's club beat Vilnius district team “TransINVEST” 3:1, while the people of Panevežys defeated “Šiauliai” 2:0. In the next match, both teams will have to miss one player due to disqualifications - Robertas Mazanas and Yukiyoshi Karashima.

Before the trip to Vilnius, defender Nicolas Gorobsov met with fk-panevezys.lt website.

“I think that each change of coach brings a renewal of energy and each player starts from scratch. He gave us confidence to play football and now our goal is to maintain this form in every match.

“Žalgiris” started this season very well and collects a lot of points, but we need to focus on ourselves and prepare for good matches. In the current part of the season, “Hegelmann” plays very solid and good football. We had a bad start to the league season, but we still have many matches ahead, so we need to gather points and see what happens in the end,” - said the Argentine.

The clash between the champions of the previous season and the runners-up will take place on June 16, Sunday. The match starts at 18:25 at the LFF Stadium, with the broadcast on the LRT Plius channel.
