The first of two encounters in the Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round, as the hometeam Mura will try to edge Žalgiris in their own ballpark.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Žalgiris have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Mura form and stats
Mura was eliminated in the 3rd qualifying round last season in the Europa League.Mura are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two 1. SNL games here at Mestni Štadion Fazanerija.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Bravo in the 1. SNL last time out and are looking for a win here.
Heartbreak before that as Mura lost 1-3 at Ludogorets's place.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Mura matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, two draws and zero defeats (from two games).
Mura are traveling soon after this match as the 1. SNL match at Aluminij awaits in three days.
Mura has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Žalgiris form and stats
They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the 2nd qualifying round.Žalgiris's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Žalgiris collect 20 points from their 9 away matches in the A Lyga. 6 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
360 minutes! That's how long the Žalgiris goalkeeper Martin Berkovec and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Žalgiris failed to get anything from their last game, a Champions League home match vs Ferencvaros that ended with defeat 1-3.
A 0-2 defeat away at Ferencvaros before that.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Žalgiris when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning zero games.
After this away game Žalgiris return home for a A Lyga game against Banga. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The travelling fans enjoy Žalgiris's attacking play in away games, having scored 16 goals in 9 league matches away. Žalgiris's manager V. Cheburin has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 4 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
