In the qualification match of the 1/8 final of the Champions League, Zalgiris and Linfield will play against each other. On whose side will the victory be in this meeting?
"Zalgiris"
Last season, Zalgiris won the Lithuanian championship for the eighth time in its history and received the right to play in the Champions League. After 19 of the current championship, the Cheburin team still holds the leading position. The home team has 12 victories and 5 peaceful outcomes. Thanks to this result, the team was able to earn 41 points and a 2-point gap from Suduva. It is noteworthy that the capital's team did not miss in the last 5 games.
"Linfield"
In Northern Ireland, Linfield won the league title again. This victory was a record 55th in a row for the team. For 38 rounds of the championship, the Healy team was able to get 24 victories and in 6 cases played a draw. 78 points allowed us to win gold medals. At the end of the Linfield season, the capital's team drew with Coleraine and managed to defeat Cliftonville. It is impossible not to recall the success in the match in the final of the Northern Ireland Cup, where Larne was outplayed in the final match.
Statistics and figures:
- "Zalgiris" - the favorite of the meeting;
- The Lithuanian team has 4 wins in 5 games;

Forecast
I expect great results from this match. The opponents show a good level of football and will do everything to distinguish themselves in the face-to-face confrontation. We bet that each of the teams will score a goal in this confrontation.
