Betting Insights
- FK Zalgiris Vilnius are the slight favorites at 2.5, with OFK Petrovac at 2.65 and the draw 3.3.
- Petrovac have scored 0.75 and conceded 0.75 goals at home this term, while Zalgiris have conceded just 0.83 goals on their travels, so this should be a cagey and tactical matchup.
Prediction
- Zdravko Dragićević's Petrovac side play a pragmatic low-to-mid block style that is ideal for European ties against stronger opponents, where they will try to stay compact, nick the game with counter-attacks and set pieces.
- The two should clash nicely in the classic underdog-versus-favorite matchup, where Petrovac will sit deep and try to nick it and Zalgiris will look to stretch the Montenegrin defense with their control of the ball through the middle third.
- The visitors have the better overall attacking quality, however, and we will risk a 1-0 away win in the correct score market.
