- FK Zalgiris Vilnius are in excellent form, winning seven of their last ten matches in all competitions (D1, L2).
- HNK Hajduk Split are inconsistent by comparison, winning four, drawing two and losing four of their previous ten games.
- Zalgiris are unbeaten in four home fixtures (W4, D0), while Hajduk are yet to win on the road in 2026 (D2, L3).
Zalgiris are in fine form
It's tight at the top of the table for these sides in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 so far, but it's FK Zalgiris Vilnius who are priced at 13/4 after claiming seven wins from their last 10 matches (D1, L2). The Lithuanian champions have found some top form of late, winning four of their past five games and entering this fixture on the back of a two-game winning run. Their most recent match saw Andrius Skerla's men triumph 3-2 away to FC Hegelmann Litauen Kaunas in the A Lyga 2026, but they really got the hang of things at home last time out when destroying Dinamo Tbilisi 7-2 in this competition. That result marked the fourth straight home victory for Zalgiris, who have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack on their own patch when in top form.
Hajduk are hot and cold
Hajduk are an equally useful outfit, but they have been more hot and cold recently, winning three and losing two of their five most recent matches.
The Croatian side are coming off a 2-1 defeat to MSK Zilina in away matches, a 2-0 home victory over Pafos FC, and a 4-0 away loss to the same Cypriot outfit in the UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026.
Gonzalo Garcia's side like to play in the opponent's half and press them higher up the pitch, they like to use the width of the pitch and increase the tempo of matches, which may or may not suit them on Thursday.
An entertaining affair at LFF Stadium
Hajduk's inconsistency means they are favoured here at 39/50, but it's very close for Zalgiris at 13/4 and the draw at 53/20.
Considering the home advantage, we feel that this one could go either way, but there is no value in the outright markets.
A more sensible angle is to take the over and both teams to score, as both clubs have enough attacking talent to score goals in this type of game.
Michele Sego has scored three of Hajduk's ten goals across the last five games, but his counter-part at Zalgiris, Nikola Petkovic, is in blazing form with five goals in four UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 games.
This game should be full of intensity, but we reckon that Hajduk Split are likelier to edge it as they can stretch the opposition more with their style of play.
