Struga vs Zalgiris Predictions and Top Betting Tips
Struga vs Zalgiris will be a curious game after last week's goalless match. Here are our predictions.
Contents
Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
After last week's match, we definitely expect an under here. Zalgiris definitely had to win last week and they failed. Their opponents, Struga, could not create any chances and relied on solid defense for the result. Zalgiris are a far more experienced team and we think that they have a better chance here. This will still be a close match and we definitely do not expect a lot of goals.
Match Result Prediction: Zalgiris to Win
We expect a minimal win for the away side. They didn't do enough to win last week, although they dominated throughout the entire match. They are a significantly more experienced team than the debutants on the other side, who surprisingly won the title in Macedonia. Their form has not been great when we consider the friendly matches and Zalgiris should be able to get the win with a minimal scoreline.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Zalgiris
This should be a very close match. We expect a bit more action from the home side but they will still rely on defense and probably look for the draw and extra time. When we compare the Struga vs Zalgiris line ups, we definitely think that the visitors have a more experienced squad and therefore, a better chance to win this match.
Struga vs Zalgiris Team Previews
Struga Preview
Struga are the new champion in North Macedonia and their campaign shocked everyone. The team lost only two matches in 30 round and had a goal difference of 53:19. Of course, the team's level is quite low in comparison to the average level of the Champions League and we do not think that they have big chances to qualify even if they get past Zalgiris.
Zalgiris Preview
Zalgiris have established a hegemony in Lithuania and they win the title every season. Last year, they won it with over 20 points ahead of the second team. This season has been more difficult than usual and they may actually lose the title to a shocking contender. The team will be motivated for a long run in Europe.
