FK Panevezys will be aiming to claim a major scalp in the Champions League first qualifying round when they take on Helsinki in the double-header. Panevezys are low on confidence ahead of the first leg as they were beaten by Banga and Hagelmann in the previous two league fixtures. Given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the Lithuanian outfit.
The Finns, on the other hand, aim to recover from a shocking 3-0 loss to Ilves and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. As Helsinki are a more experienced side than Panevezys, speaking of the participation in European competitions, we are tempted to place our bets on the visitors. A man to watch in the away team will be English forward Luke Plange, who has netted six goals in the Veikkausliiga so far this term.
