There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa Conference League 1st Qualifying Round meeting between Kauno Žalgiris and Ružomberok. Game on!

2 - 1 - 2 with 8-7. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Ružomberok when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Ružomberok play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

It's quite the trip for Ružomberok when visiting Žalgiris as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Both sides have had plenty of rest since their last match. Let's hope for an in-your-face fixture!

Ružomberok form and stats

The followers enjoyed Ružomberok's previous fixture versus Kauno Žalgiris, a Europa Conference League win (2-0) played at home.

That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Sered in the Super Liga.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ružomberok manager Struhár as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Skalica.

Head 2 Head

The most up to date recorded meeting between these participants is the Ružomberok - Kauno Žalgiris 2-0 played not long ago this season.
