On April 14, FC "Šiauliai" will travel to Vilnius to clash weapons with the local team "REO". This will be already the 6th round of the "General Financing A League". So far, both teams have not demonstrated impressive results and this match should be a turning point for one team to achieve higher results. Also, this match is special because both teams have not played against each other in any tournament yet.
This season, "Šiauliai" from Šiauliai has so far won two games and suffered three losses. It is worth noting that after two successful first matches, the "Šiauliai" team fell into a slump and experienced three consecutive losses. Meanwhile, the Vilnius "REO" team has not enjoyed a victory in the past five matches and settled for two draws.
Currently, "Šiauliai" with 6 points in the league table shares the 5-7 positions with "Tauro" and "Dainava" footballers, who have also collected six points each. In turn, Vilnius "REO" shares the last two (9-10) places with Garždai "Bang" team. Both teams have two points each.
Before the match with "Šiauliai", Vilnius "REO" head coach Stasys Baranauskas said: "We are expecting a really tough match, both teams will seek to win and prove their worth. After such a start to the season, the psychological attitude of both teams is of great importance. Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that "Šiauliai" are the favorites of this clash, so we will need a lot of luck to overcome them. We will try to play our game, not to take too many risks. Perhaps we will be more of a defensive team and we will try to catch "Šiauliai" on the counterattacks".
FC "Šiauliai" head coach Deivis Kančelskis said: "The most important thing now is to get in the right psychological state. "REO" is an interesting team and experience shows that underestimating the opponent can result in a painful punishment, so we will enter the battle focused. After the last match, there was a serious conversation with the guys and conclusions have been drawn. Finally, after an injury, L.Rimavičius and E. Jasaičius should join the team".
