Hegelmann vs St. Patrick`s prediction 17.07.2025 | Conference League

• Competition: Conference League Qualifiers, 1st Round, 2nd Leg
• Date: Thursday, 17th July, 2025
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Raudondvario stadionas (Raudondvario)

After a 1:0 for St. Patrick's over Hegelmann in the first leg of the first-round Conference League Qualifiers, these teams will meet in the second leg at Raudondvario Stadionas in Raudondvario.

For the second year in a row, Hegelmann are looking like one of the best teams in Lithuania. Last year, they finished second - but not close to the top spot, as Zalgiris left them 12 points behind. This year, they are once again in a similar situation. Right now, they are third, but on a level with points with 2nd placed Suduva. Unfortunately, they are six points behind the top spot, which is very hard to overcome in the Lithuanian league. In Europe, this match will be Hegelman's only fourth, and the Lithuanians are still searching for their first goal!

St. Patrick's were among the top four teams in Ireland in the previous four years. This season, after a good start, The Red Army started slipping and have now dropped to sixth place - already eight away from European spots and with one game played more. In Europe, they had a lot more experience than their next opponent, but only in Qualifiers because they have never reached the Group phase of any European competition.

Hegelmann vs St. Patrick's pick: Under 2.5 goals

In the first leg, St. Patrick's won 1:0. Even though they were a better team overall, they could really score and managed to do so from the penalty spot. They have been having big problems with efficiency for some time now, considering they scored two goals in their last seven games across the competitions - 0.29 points per game. But on the other hand, they had three clean sheets in a row. So, a good defense and not-that-great offense make them perfect for this type of bet.

On the other hand, Hegelmann did have some good offensive displays lately, but that was in the domestic league against worse competition. In Europe, they are struggling to score and failed to do so in their first three games.

Considering the previous leg and all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Conference League Qualifiers tie.
