Suduva take on the visitors Viborg in the first leg of quarterfinals of UEFA Conference League qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, July 21th at Hikvision Arena (Marijampole).
Suduva are gradually losing ground. "Sūduviečiai" have played consistently in the A-League since 2002. And, starting from 2017, they were able to take the champion title three times in a row (and finally win the cup). Only in the season before last, the team was still blown away, retreating by 1 position (and losing in the Lithuanian Cup). The year 2021 also ended with silver. And now the team is moving closer to the equator of the table. You can still climb a couple of places, but the gap from the leader, Zalgiris from Vilnius, already looks hopeless. The Balts do not shine in European competition. Both in 2020 and 2021, they could eliminate only the first enemy, and the neighbor, first the Estonian Flora, and then the Latvian Valmiera.

Viborg managed to break into European competition. The Greens made it to the Danish Super League only following the results of the penultimate season. There, the newcomer had an average performance in the regular season: they took only 7th place. On the other hand, then it turned out to be the “best” among the worst, which allowed to fight for a ticket to the Conference League. There they beat Aalborg on penalties. A serious success for the team, which before that could only boast of having won the country's cup and super cup in 2000. And this was achieved by Jakob Friis, who became the head coach only at the end of winter. Ironically, this 45-year-old specialist tried to play as a football player in Aalborg, and then worked for a long time in the structure of this club. And now I have deprived them of pass to the European arena!
Clubs, to put it mildly, do not belong to the regulars of international tournaments. So on Thursday they will hold the first duel in their history. Nothing is decided in this fight - there will still be a return match, in Denmark. We recommend not to expect many goals in Lithuania, we are waiting for boring "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
