Match Preview

This UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie between Kauno Žalgiris and Dinamo Zagreb already looks decided after Dinamo's 5-0 rout in the first leg at Maksimir. Still, there's something at stake: Dinamo need to close things out to keep their Champions League play-off dream alive, while Žalgiris, sitting second in the Lithuanian top flight, have already guaranteed themselves Conference League football next season, only the second Lithuanian club ever to do so. Reigning HNL champions Dinamo arrive full of confidence after ending last season with an eight-match winning streak, and they were ruthless in leg one, with Miha Zajc, Scott McKenna, Mateo Lisica, Luka Stojkovic and Lukas Kacavenda all finding the net. Žalgiris had a glimpse of hope when Baldassarra struck the crossbar, and they'll hope home support in Kaunas sparks a reaction. The clubs had never met before this tie. Our prediction: 1-2
