Before the match
Despite the excellent away result, “Žalgiris” head coach Andrius Skerla said before the return match that his players will not think about preserving the advantage but about winning.
- Another victory for “Žalgiris” would add ranking points, which are later counted into the club’s tally, distinguishing seeded and unseeded teams.
If successful, in the second qualifying round “Žalgiris” would face the Georgian football flagman Tbilisi “Dinamo” or the “Mondorf-les-Bains” team from Luxembourg. In this pair, “Dinamo” won the first away match 2:1.
To reach the main stage of the Conference League, four qualifying barriers must be overcome.
