Basel and Žalgiris get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa Conference League Group Stage fixture.

These teams have little in common geographically as Žalgiris have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Basel and Žalgiris.

Žalgiris go into this game after a win, the home game against Hegelmann Litauen that ended 2-1.

A quick return to home after this game, as Žalgiris are hosting Dziugas Telsiai in the A Lyga only three days away.
