What we said beforehand
FK Panevėžys host FK TransINVEST at home in the Lithuania A Lyga on 31 October 2026. Panevėžys sit seventh of nine with 35 points and a –14 goal difference, while TransINVEST sit fourth with 49 points and a +10 difference, a spot that secures a place in the European qualifiers. The gap between them is 14 points, but both are still chasing higher positions – Panevėžys are seven points behind Džiugas Telšiai in sixth and nine ahead of Hegelmann in eighth, whereas TransINVEST sit just one point ahead of Sūduva and seven clear of Banga Gargzdai. A win for the home side would pull them a little closer to safety, while a draw would keep TransINVEST in the euro places and maintain the pressure on the teams above them.
Panevėžys have been a mixed bag in their last eight matches, winning four and losing four. Their most recent result was a 2-1 loss away to Džiugas Telšiai. Before that they beat Banga Gargzdai 2-1 at home, then fell 1-0 at home to FK Kauno Žalgiris. They responded with a 3-1 away win over Hegelmann, a 3-0 away victory against Banga Gargzdai and a 2-0 home win over Žalgiris Vilnius. In those eight games they have scored 11 and let in eight, kept two clean sheets and failed to find the net three times. Four of the matches featured three or more goals and in three of them both sides scored. At home in the last three fixtures they have two wins and one loss, showing they can be dangerous on their own turf.
TransINVEST come into the game on a stronger run. In their last eight outings they have won four, drawn two and lost two, and they are unbeaten in the last four matches overall. Their latest result was a 2-0 home win over Hegelmann. Prior to that they drew 3-3 away at Džiugas Telšiai, then beat Žalgiris Vilnius 3-0 at home, and secured a 3-1 away win over Banga Gargzdai. They also suffered a 2-1 home loss to Sūduva before a 3-0 home victory over FA Šiauliai. Across those eight games they have scored 16 and conceded nine, kept three clean sheets and were held scoreless only once. Five of the games produced three or more goals and in four of them both teams found the net. On the road they have one win and two draws in their last three away fixtures, indicating they can pick up points away from home.
When the two clubs meet, the history is fairly even. In the last five meetings Panevėžys have won three, TransINVEST one and there has been one draw, with an average of 2.2 goals per game. The most recent encounter on 10 August 2026 ended 2-0 to Panevėžys. Given the similar expected goal totals – 1.4 for each side – we can expect another low-scoring affair, likely with both teams managing to find the net but not many beyond that. The pattern of both sides scoring in several recent matches suggests a chance of a 1-1 or 2-1 result, rather than a shut-out.
We back Panevėžys or the draw at 2.05. The price is longer than our own reading, which makes it attractive. Both clubs have a 75 % chance of scoring and a 41 % chance of scoring twice, so a draw or a narrow win for the home side feels safe. The pick works if the game stays tight and both sides get on the scoresheet. It would fail if TransINVEST dominate and win by two or more, or if Panevėžys are shut out. With a 64 % chance of this outcome, the price looks good for a sensible, low-risk bet.
