Zalgiris vs Ferencvaros Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Europa Conference League Qualification on Thursday, 24 August 2023.
Zalgiris started off their European competitive qualifiers in July facing Struga. They won that clash and advanced it to their next fixture, which was the quarter final of Champions League qualifiers.
Since then they have not been able to win in the aggregate and dropped to ECL, after conceding a demotivating 8-1 aggregate defeat against Hacken. They will play host to Ferencvaros in the first leg of this match-up, their final chance to play a European competition this season.
Ferencvaros will give a hard task to Zalgiris for sure. Their recent form is so strong as the team won five of their last six matches across all competitions. This includes four ECL qualifiers which is worth enough noting.
They have met twice in the past. Ferencvaros won both the fixtures.
Zalgiris have an unimpressive form at home too. They were winless in three of the last four matches at home. Meanwhile, Ferencvaros follows a stunning on the road form of late. The team follows a five-match unbeaten streak at the moment.
Do also note that three of those were qualifiers. Such a strong on the road form forces us to back Ferencvaros to win against this Zalgiris side on Thursday.
Ferencvaros have scored a total of 16 goals from the last five away matches. On the other side, Zalgiris recorded five over 2.5 goal matches in the last six home matches. Therefore, we expect plenty of goals on Thursday.
Although Zalgiris were winless in a set of home matches lately, their offensive side still has a decent consistency in scoring. Zalgiris scored goals in their last five home matches. Thus, we expect this match to have goals from both ends.
Ferencvaros to win will be our pick for the main betting tip here. Their current form with good exposure to ECL qualification matches inclines us to back them here.
For the second tip, we like to place the over 2.5 goals option considering the goal numbers of both at respective patches.
