The first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League is here and among the teams taking part, Zalgiris from Lithuania will be hosting Northern Irish side Linfield. While Zalgiris have been playing competitively, Linfield’s season is just kicking off. Zalgiris are top of the standings in the Lithuanian league and will go into this game very confident, coming from a 10-game unbeaten run. They have eight wins and eight clean sheets in that run and ahead of this game, they drew 0-0 with Riteriai in their local league. At home, they haven’t lost any of the last seven and have scored two or more goals in four of their last five home matches.
Linfield added another league title and Irish Cup to their list of accolades at the close of last season and will be hoping to start their season well. This is their first competitive game in over a month and heading here, they lost to Kilmarnock in a preseason friendly match. That was their second loss in 10 matches across all competitions and unlike Zalgiris, they’ve struggled a bit to keep clean sheets; Linfield have just three in the last 10 matches. They have five losses in the last seven Champions League matches and they’ve failed to score in seven of 10 Champions League matches.

Our Zalgiris Vilnius vs Linfield FC Prediction
Zalgiris go to this game fitter, having been playing competitively, and they have a good run too. They will have the favorites’ feel, going to this game and should be able to beat a rusty Linfield side that hasn’t been in competitive action for a while. Playing at home will also favor Zalgiris, and they’ve been scoring a lot there too, so go for a Zalgiris win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
