Penybont vs Zalgiris Prediction and Betting Tips | July 17th 2025

Penybont will go up against Zalgiris at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday in the second leg of their 2025-26 first-round UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying campaign. The home side have a mountain to climb if they are to advance to the next round after a poor showing in the first leg.

Penybont were outmatched last Thursday as they lost the first leg 3-0 and were lucky to avoid conceding more after going down to 10 men in the 64th minute. The Welsh outfit were in decent form going into their last outing, having won three out of four club friendlies and will hope to return to winning ways this midweek to keep alive their chances of making the main rounds of a European competition for the first time in their history.

Zalgiris, on the other hand, are in superb form, with Thursday's win marking their 12th victory in a 13-match unbeaten streak that dates back to April. The Lithuanian side are currently sat atop the A Lyga table, six points clear with less than half a season to go and will be confident to continue their impressive form when they take the trip to Wales.
