Malmo take on the visitors Zalgiris in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification quarterfinals. First leg result: 0-1. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 27th at Eleda Stadion (Malmö).
Malmo are having a very difficult season. The Sky Blues are rightfully considered one of the most prestigious clubs in the country. After all, they once managed to reach the final of the European Champions Cup! In addition, this is the 22-time winner of Allsvenskan, who took gold in 2020 and 2021. But that was under Dal-Thomasson. His successor, Milojevic, has yet to show the same success. In the middle of the new championship, the grand was already seriously lagging behind the leaders. In the Champions League, the Swedes went through Vikingur Reykjavik not without problems: 3-2 at home, 3-3 in Iceland. Well, in Lithuania there was a defeat, albeit minimal.

Zalgiris Vilnius again became the leading club in Lithuania. The "Green-whites" were not lost even in Soviet times, especially in the 80s of the last century. But at the time of independence, there was far from the dominance that many expected: only 9 titles in 3 decades. But in both 2020 and 2021, it was the capital project that turned out to be the strongest in the A-League. And now they lead in the standings. This allows the wards of Vladimir Cheburin to focus all their attention on the Champions League. The Balts knocked out the first opponent, although it was difficult from the Balkans: 1-1 in Kosovo, 0-0 in Vilnius, but in the 97th minute Kehinde scored the decisive goal. And on July 19, the only goal was scored by Urega at the beginning of the 2nd half. It is obvious that now, in Sweden, the visitors will play with this handicap in mind.
In 2015, the Lithuanians and the Swedes have already played each other in the Champions League qualifiers. Then there was a goalless draw in Malmö, but in Lithuania the guests scored the only goal. So far, Malmö is considered a clear favorite. But now the team is not impressive, so we are waiting for another rather boring duel between these opponents. We bet on "under 3.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
