FK Žalgiris Vilnius vs Ferencvarosi TC Predictions

BETTING TIP – OVER 2.5 GOALS

CORRECT SCORE PREDICTION – 2-1 FERENCVAROS

• Zalgiris have scored 13 goals in their last five home matches.
• Ferencvarosi have scored eight goals in their three Champions League qualifiers this season.

Green Eagles can keep Lithuanians at bay

Ferencvaros can take another step towards replicating their appearance in the Champions League group stage when they face Zalgiris on Tuesday.

The Hungarian champions went toe-to-toe with the mighty Barcelona and Juventus in 2020-21 and, Although Sergei Rebrov’s men collected only one point – from a home draw against Dynamo Kyiv – they were competitive in all six group games.

Ex-Koln and Borussia Dortmund coach Peter Stöger has now replaced Rebrov and most of last season’s squad remains intact.

The Green Eagles have breezed through their first three games of qualifying, seeing off Prishtina 6-1 on aggregate before establishing a 2-0 lead over Zalgiris in Hungary.

Defensively, they seem to have improved a little on last season when they conceded five in five qualifying matches for this competition.

Zalgiris probably should have come away from Budapest with one goal to show for their ten-shot performance, but will still feel an early strike on Tuesday can get them back into the tie.

The hosts may yet make Ferencvaros sweat for their place in the next round and with 13 goals scored in their last five home league and Champions League games, are definitely a good bet to register.

Stoger’s men have generally been worth at least two goals on their European outings this term, though, so our correct score forecast is a 2-1 away win.
