This is the second round of the Champions League qualifiers. FK Suduva currently leads the Lithuanian A-Liga but is not a strong offensive team tallying 21 goals in 15 league matches. Suduva midfielder Povilas Leimonas will miss this match because of an injury. Suduva defeated Flora on penalties in Round 1, but they step up here in competition to face Maccabi. Maccabi Tel Aviv, who have yet to start league play, are the defending champions in the Israeli Premier League. They dominated the league last season with 26 wins in 36 matches, outscoring opponents 63-10. That defense was easily No. 1 allowing 20 fewer goals than the next best defensive team. Maccabi Tel Aviv has played great this month in preparation for this tournament, winning four in a row by an 8-0 count, including a 2-0 shutout of Riga in the first round. Back Maccabi Tel Aviv on the moneyline.
