Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Zalgiris will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Banga and FK Panevezys when they take on Hamrun in the Champions League first qualifying round, first leg. With Lithuanian A Lyga being in a full swing, Zalgiris are seen as favourites to win Wednesday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Defender Joris Moutachy is available for selection despite his sending-off in the last league match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Maltese champions, on the other hand, have not been in action since May 14, 2025, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Raphael Lopes, who scored 12 goals in the national championship last term. This will be the first ever meeting between the two sides in European competitions.
