Panevezys host Hapoel Be'er Sheva at the ARVI Football Arena in Lithuania on Thursday for the second leg of their Europa Conference League second qualifying round.
The Israeli outfit hold a 1-0 advantage from the first leg of the tie, having eked out a narrow victory at home. Shay Elias scored the only goal of the game in the 35th minute as Panevezys were completely shut out.
It was a great recovery from Be'er Sheva, who had been thrashed 6-1 by Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Toto Cup Ligat AI a week earlier.
The Camels reached the group stages of the UEFA Europa Conference League last year. After managing only two wins from six games, they finished third in their group and failed to reach the knockout stages.
Trending
Lithuanian side Panevezys' European excursions only began as recently as the 2021-22 season. Since then, they have tried to reach the Conference League group stages twice, failing each time.
After a second qualifying round exit to Vojvodina in their first attempt, Gino Lettieri's side went out in the first qualifying round to Moldova's Milsami Orhei.
Now, Panevezys are on the brink of seeing their hopes of making their European debut dashed once again.
