ALREADY TOMORROW: FCI Levadia will host FA Šiauliai in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League first qualifying round

FCI Levadia, having won the first match 2-0, will host Lithuanian bronze medalists FA Šiauliai on Thursday, July 18th. The match will take place at A. Le Coq Arena, with kickoff at 19:00, and tickets are available on Piletitasku.

After a 2-0 victory in the first match, with goals from Richie Musaba and Felipe Felicio, Levadia will host FA Šiauliai on July 18th at 19:00. Gates open at 17:30, and tickets are available on Piletitasku. More information about the event can be found on the FCI Levadia Facebook event page.

The winner of this tie will advance to the second qualifying round of the Conference League and will face Croatian club Osijek. The winner of this pair will play the first match away, with the return leg taking place at the home stadium of the first qualifying round winner.

Curro Torres was calm and confident during the pre-match press conference. “We did a good job in the first match, but we have to play at least as well, if not better, tomorrow. We need to stay focused for 90 minutes,” said Torres.

“We controlled the first match and created a lot of chances. We will approach the second leg with the same plan,” continued the Spanish head coach, whose first European season with Levadia ended last year in the first round against Slovak side Žilina. “It’s important that they don’t score in the second match because we want to win both games.”

Til Mavretic believes that Šiauliai would be at the top of the Premium League: “Šiauliai would be a top team in the Premium League. In Europe, the intensity is higher and the pressure is greater. In the league, it’s not a big deal if you have a bad day because you have time to get back on track. You have two chances in European competitions, and if a game goes wrong, you will likely be eliminated.”
