Expect Dziugas to set up in their usual 4-2-3-1, a shape designed to frustrate. The double pivot will sit deep, screening the back four, while the wide men tuck in to make a low block that's hard to break down. They'll look to hit on the break, with the lone striker feeding off scraps and the number ten arriving late in the box. It's a system built for containment, and it worked against Banga. But against a side with more quality in the final third, that block can crack.

Suduva will line up in their 4-3-3, and that's where the game gets interesting. The midfield three gives them numerical superiority in the centre, and they'll look to play through the lines with quick, incisive passing. The wide forwards will stretch Dziugas's back line, pulling the full-backs out of position and creating space for the central runners. Suduva's full-backs push high, and that's a double-edged sword — it gives them width, but it leaves gaps in behind. Dziugas will try to exploit that on the break, but they'll need to be clinical, and that's not their strength.

The key battle is in midfield. Dziugas's double pivot against Suduva's trio. If Suduva can dominate that area, they'll starve Dziugas of the ball and pin them in their own half. If Dziugas can disrupt and win second balls, they can turn the game into a scrap. But Suduva's quality in possession should tell. They're the set-piece kings too, and that's a route to goal against a side that defends deep.
