HJK vs FK Panevezys Prediction & Betting Tips (16 July)

But what happened last week for the 33 times Finnish champion and quadruple title holder who absolutely did not exist in Lithuania by conceding three pawns without scoring for a large defeat in depth 3- 0. Condemned to the feat from now on, the Finns still have European experience with no less than 53 participations in European C1, C3 or C4 competitions. It is also important to remember that the locals have already started their championship campaign well and after 16 days played, they have the same number of points as KuPS which has one day less. In order to give them some rest between the two matches, the capital's players will not have played in the league last weekend. Lithuanian champion for the first time in its history in 2023, FK Panevezys does not experience the same joys since the start of the new season in the championship by being 9th and blocking for maintenance with a total of 21 points in 21 days played. Confirmation is difficult for the visitors who are light years behind Zalgiris now in the rankings.

However, in the space of one match, he demonstrated why he finished champion last year. Authors of an incredible performance, the Lithuanians are no longer very far from reaching the 2nd round of these qualifications for the Champions 3-0. Last season, they played two Conference League preliminary rounds but were eliminated by Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Like HJK, Panevezys did not play in the championship last weekend.

At HJK, quite a few people were missing in the first leg due to various injuries. These include Halme (12 league appearances), Anini (1 app) and the long-term injured Kujasalo and O'Shaughnessy. Author of 6 goals and 3 assists in the league, the Englishman Plange did not have the desired effect in the first leg and will try to correct the situation this evening. Same case for Keskinen (5 goals, 2 assists in the championship) and for Lingman (3 goals, 6 goals in the Finnish elite).

 Absent for the season, Smith will logically be OUT this evening along with Asamoah (absent since the end of May, injured). Excluded in the first leg, Dieng (indisputable holder in recent weeks) will logically miss the call to serve his suspension. For the rest, the group will be complete with in particular the most productive elements in the championship such as the Englishman Noel Mbo (3 goals, 2 assists), the Argentinian Gorobsov (3 goals in the championship, scorer in the first leg), the midfielder Veliulis (2 goals, 2 assists in the league) also a scorer in the first leg or even Gussias (2 pawns in the league) and the Iberian Federico Palacios-Martinez (2 goals in the league), notably passing through RB Leipzig at the start careers.
