Panevėžys – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Red and Blues” reached its peak in history in 2023. The project was created only 9 years ago, but they have already won the Cup (2020), the Super Cup twice, and, if we take into account the previous cycle, confidently won the A-Lyga.
Still, now the team is literally fighting for survival at the inner arena. It turns out to take almost 1 point per match – clearly more was expected from such a club. Speaking about the previous round, there was a new defeat – a 0-1 failure in the struggle with Hegelmann.
HJK – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Klubi” dominates Finnish football. The team not only hold the record for the number of championship titles, but also constantly increase the indicators. New trophies have been “stamped” constantly since 2020.
There are good chances to succeed even now. Still, the club, on the other hand, was not possible to break through by the time of the start of the European tournaments, which will obviously complicate the calendar. There was leadership, but at once several pursuers are literally breathing down the team’s backs. Speaking about the previous round with Ilves, the favourite suddenly fell apart – there happened a 0-3 failure and the team immediately paid for it with 1st place.
