VarenosDrawGranitas-Karys
Varenos travel to face Granitas-Karys in Lietuvos Lyga action on 31 October 2026, with the visitors desperately seeking their first win of the season. Varenos sit seventh with no points from five games, while Granitas-Karys hold third place with 6 points from six matches. This is a clash between a team fighting for survival and one pushing toward the upper reaches of the table.
Team form
Varenos
Granitas-Karys have shown real resilience in recent weeks. They scored 31.4 goals per game across their last five outings while conceding 31.2, demonstrating an attacking threat that keeps them competitive. Their most recent league fixture saw them lose 29-32 at home to Sviesa, but before that they claimed victories over Alytaus (33-29) and Varenos themselves (40-25). European Cup action against Timisoara tested them hard, but their domestic form suggests a team capable of putting points on the board.
Granitas-Karys
Varenos are in freefall. They have lost all five of their opening matches, conceding a staggering 40.6 goals per game while managing just 25.0 at the other end. Their most recent outing saw them hammered 23-53 away at Dragunas Klaipeda—a result that underscores just how far they are behind the pace. Even their best defensive display in this run, a 30-40 home loss to Dragunas, shows the gulf in class they are facing. They have not yet registered a point this season.
Head-to-head
The teams met just three weeks ago on 10 October, when Granitas-Karys dominated at home, winning 40-25. That 15-goal margin gives a clear picture of the gulf between these sides right now. Varenos offered little resistance in that encounter, and there is little to suggest they have closed that gap in the intervening period.
Key factors
Varenos' defensive frailty is the defining problem. Conceding over 40 goals per game is unsustainable at any level, and Granitas-Karys' attacking potency—evidenced by their 31.4 goals-per-game average—will punish every lapse. Granitas-Karys, meanwhile, have shown they can score freely against Varenos and possess the quality to maintain that standard. The hosts' ability to convert chances at pace will be crucial; Varenos simply do not have the defensive infrastructure to contain a team firing on all cylinders. Varenos' only realistic path to a result would be to adopt a damage-limitation approach and hope for an off night from their opponents, but the evidence suggests that is unlikely.
Prediction
Granitas-Karys are clear favourites here. They sit higher in the table, have won their recent head-to-head by a massive margin, and are averaging significantly more goals per game than their opponents. Varenos' defensive record is catastrophic, and Granitas-Karys have the attacking firepower to exploit it ruthlessly. The hosts should dominate possession and territory, converting their chances with clinical efficiency. While Varenos may scrape a few goals, they lack the defensive solidity or attacking threat to trouble Granitas-Karys seriously.
Back Granitas-Karys to win convincingly. The visitors are in crisis, having conceded 203 goals in five games, and face an opponent who has already beaten them heavily this season. Granitas-Karys should cruise to victory with a comfortable margin.
