Zalgiris Vilnius and Ferencvárosi TC will face off in the 1st leg of the UEFA Conference League Play-offs.
It’s anticipated that Žalgiris Vilnius might struggle to achieve a positive result against the strong Ferencvárosi TC team. On the other hand, it’s expected that Ferencvárosi TC will manage to score at least one goal, giving them the advantage in the match.
Žalgiris Vilnius aims to avoid a repetition of their recent 5-0 defeat against BK Häcken in the Europa League Qualifiers.
Recent performances have highlighted a lack of defensive solidity from Žalgiris Vilnius, with goals conceded in 5 out of their last 6 matches, totaling 12 goals conceded during that period. However, this trend might not necessarily carry over into the upcoming game.
The Žalgiris Vilnius manager, Vladimir Cheburin, can rest assured with a fully healthy squad available for selection, as there are no reported fitness concerns among the players before this match. The team is in good shape and ready for the challenge.
Last 5 Games: Won: 1, Draw: 1, Lost: 3, Scored: 5, Conceded: 9, Clean Sheets: 2.
Ferencvárosi TC enters the match on the back of a 2-1 victory against Ħamrun Spartans in the Conference League Qualifiers.
Ferencvárosi TC has displayed remarkable efficiency in front of goal in their recent six matches, netting a total of goals. This impressive record translates to an average of 3.33 goals scored per game during this period.
With a mostly full-strength squad available, the only fitness concern for Ferencvárosi TC’s manager, Csaba Máté, is the absence of Halmai from the action. Other than that, the team is in good shape and ready for the upcoming match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 4, Draw: 0, Lost: 1, Scored: 16, Conceded: 7, Clean Sheets: 1.
