Zalgiris will host the Norwegian champion in the second leg of the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League. How will the meeting end? Our portal gives a forecast for the meeting.
"Zalgiris"
The Lithuanian overcame two qualifying rounds of the Champions League, however, apparently, he will not go further than the 3rd. A week ago, Vladimir Cheburin's team suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 0:5. Chances in this scenario, as you know, are very small. The Lithuanian champion needs to make a real feat, but there is no faith in it. After the defeat in Norway, Zalgiris played a home game in the championship — they coped with Banga (2:1). It is curious that the hosts remained ten already in the 6th minute, but they defeated the opponent even in a numerical minority. "Zalgiris" came out on top in the table, although "Hegelmann" has the same number of points. But the reigning champion has four games left.
"Bude-Glimt"
The Norwegian champion took a giant step on the way to the final qualifying round of qualification. The victory in the first game with a difference of five goals practically leaves the opponent no chance. Let's note the Russian goalkeeper Nikita Khaykin, who made the third "cracker" in qualifying. Three days after the match with the Lithuanian champion, Bude-Glimt smashed Odd in the Norwegian championship — 7:0. Haikin again played to zero, and his team is third in the table, eight points behind the leader, but with one match in reserve.
Statistics and figures:
- Bude-Glimt is the favorite of the upcoming match;
- The Norwegian champion has a series of five consecutive wins with a total score of 27:1;
- Zalgiris have won four of their last five matches;
- The teams met each other four times. In three cases, Bude-Glimt won;
- The last game with the participation of the teams ended with the victory of Haikin's team with a score of 5:0.
Forecast
It is clear that Zalgiris is unlikely to win back a huge gap, but he will certainly try to rehabilitate himself in front of his own fans. Let's assume that both will be able to score in the upcoming match.
