Zalgiris vs VPS Prediction 18.07.2024 | Conference League

• Competition: Conference League Qualification
• Date: 18.07.2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC +1 / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: LFF stadionas (Vilnius)

Another one of the 1st round of qualification rematches for the Conference League. It is clear this is not top football tier and teams with such a bright reputation, but that does not mean that there cannot be excitement and drama.

Zalgiris has a good result from the first match played in Finland. Every victory on the road is valuable, and with that triumph Zalgiris redeemed itself for two bad results in A Lyga and defeats against Kauno Zalgiris and Hegelmann. All in all, there is still no reason for great anxiety because this club has 7 points more than its closest rivals

VPS lost the last 4 matches and in the last 8 they won only once. It is obvious that the club is in crisis and these European matches are played at an inconvenient time. There were few chances for VPS to achieve a positive result in the first match, and there are also very few chances for them to achieve an overall triumph.

Zalgiris vs VPS pick: ZALGIRIS TO WIN

Zalgiris is a better team and there is no dispute about that. VPS must choose a slightly more offensive variant for the rematch. There is no alternative, they have to try because they need a win to pass. In Zalgiris, there are players who know how to stand on the ball and withstand pressure. We expect them to optimally use the opportunities and bring another victory to the Lithuanian team. Placement in the second round is much closer to the Lithuanian side
