Better opportunities to secure a spot in Europe may or may not be achieved in Kaunas. The achieved draw in the Faroe Islands, where Klaksvik was 8th straight draw, was not enough with only 6 points in Europe, but it was a good result because now only a home game is enough to advance further. Zalgiris has recovered after a change of coach, and their form is good. The biggest advantage is that they play at home, as the Faroe Islands is a completely different team when playing away. In Europe, they only ended their 11-game losing streak in the last round when they beat Luxembourg's Bissen club, but KZ is a higher caliber team and I believe they will take advantage of the home handicap to continue their streak. Although the game is played in Jonava, there will be no lack of support here.
One of the stronger bets for goals for this evening. Hapoel has nowhere to retreat, they need to push forward. The first game against Iceland was lost 1:2. Now, playing without their supporters, they need to make up the difference. 1:0 will not be enough today. They have consistently allowed 2 goals in each of their last 8 games. They have injuries. Iceland has a very strong offense. They consistently score 2 goals. They will try to counterattack, and Hapoel will surely be under pressure. Vikingur is in great shape, their team is fully capable and all players have played together before. + They are an attacking team.
