This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Pyunik at Vazgen Sargsyan anvan Hanrapetakan Marzadasht when the Europa Conference League tournament arrives in town and Žalgiris with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!

These teams have little in common geographically as Žalgiris have to travel 2900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Žalgiris form and stats

Žalgiris was sent out of Europa Conference League in the play-offs last season, when Bodø / Glimt turned out to be too strong.

The away performances of Žalgiris have been very solid so far with 10 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats in the A Lyga. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue.

The supporters enjoyed Žalgiris's previous game versus Kauno Zalgiris, a Lithuanian Cup win (2-1) played at home.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Suduva.

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

Žalgiris create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 37 goals in 13 travels. It's not easy to score on Žalgiris as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
