- The odds are odds-on for a FK Zalgiris Vilnius win at 7/20, with OFK Petrovac coming in at 13/2 and the draw at 15/4.

A home win looks likely
FK Zalgiris Vilnius enter Thursday's UEFA Conference League Qualification tie with OFK Petrovac as the clear favourites at 7/20 ahead of Petrovac's 13/2 and the 15/4 odds on the draw. The 3-1 away win in the first-leg certainly has the hosts on course to finish the job, although there is still a way to go.
Both sides lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the qualifying tie, but there is a clear stylistic difference between the teams. Andrius Skerla has added a bit of pragmatism and structure to the Lithuania A Lyga outfit since taking over on 15 April 2026 and his side will undoubtedly want to control the ball, probe patiently and score the odd goal in the right areas of the pitch.
Zdravko Dragicevic has kept Petrovac pretty compact and counter-focused since taking over on 13 April 2024, his side will sit in their low block and look to hit with numbers when they win the ball back. The match should therefore be a bit of a contrast, but Žalgiris will have more possession and Petrovac will do their best to turn it into a scrappy game.
Žalgiris will be very tough to beat
The hosts are certainly flying on a 2-game winning streak, having beaten Siauliai FA 3-0 in the A Lyga 2026 before running out 3-1 winners away to Petrovac in this competition. Across all venues and competitions, FK Zalgiris Vilnius have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches, and look a much more cohesive unit than they did in the early days of 2026.
By contrast, Petrovac's recent form is mixed, with 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats across their last 10 in all competitions. They have particularly struggled to get any bite on the road, winning 0, drawing 1 and losing 1 of their away games. In total, they have scored 4 goals in this sample of games, which is a pretty blunt away return.
A Žalgiris win to nil looks like a really sharp option in the markets on Thursday if the home side can pin Petrovac back, but the most likely result looks to be a home victory.
