Zalgiris take on the visitors Ludogorets in the second leg of UEFA Europa League qualification finals. First leg result: 0-1. The match will be played on Thursday, August 25th at LFF stadionas (Vilnius).
Zalgiris are close to a major breakthrough. The "Green-whites" were considered a kind of "face" of Lithuanian football, back in Soviet times. At the time of independence, there were different segments, but now the capital club has returned to the 1st place again. The title was returned in 2020, then it was defended in the last draw and they can do the same now. The Balts started again in the Champions League qualification, and showed themselves well there. Only with Bodo/Glimt did not work out, after the passage of not only the Balkans, but also Malmö. Yielding nevertheless to the Norwegians, Zalgiris moved to the Europa League. Yes, they lost in Razgrad last week, but the chances to play in the group stage, for the first time in history, remain.

Ludogorets remains the strongest club in Bulgaria, but it is important to continue to prove themselves. The Orlite have won every domestic championship in a row since 2011/2012. The team from Razgrad also has experience of playing in the Champions League, at the main stage. But still, as a rule, there should be a departure in the course of qualification. It happened this summer as well. Wards Ante Shimuji without any problems passed in the selection of Sutjescu and Shamrock Rovers. But frankly, there was not enough strength for Dinamo Zagreb. Ambitious Croats were able to win 2-1 already in Bulgaria. And at home, he completely defeated the opponent, when the Orlite answered with a single goal to 4 goals conceded, but managed to collect 3 Reds at once on the nerves. Despite the resulting problems last Thursday, the Bulgarian champion still managed to win. True, everything was limited to Tatomirovich's own goal, which happened already in the 2nd minute. With a big advantage, the Bulgarians didn't score again.
In 2017, the sides exchanged home wins. But in Vilnius there was a minimal victory, 2-1, and in Razgrad after that there was a 4-1 defeat. Ludogorets can win the return match as well. But Zalgiris must now use all his strength. We recommend betting on the fact that in the end there will be "over 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
