Jagiellonia Bialystok vs Panevėžys prediction: Back hosts to triumph
Key Stats
- Jagiellonia Bialystok eased to a 4-0 win over Panevėžys in last week’s first leg in Lithuania.
- Spanish striker Jesus Imaz scored a hattrick in Jagiellonia’s meaty victory a week ago.
- Jagiellonia are averaging three goals per game since the start of their new competitive campaign.
- Panevėžys failed to win any of their last four competitive assignments.
Correct score prediction: Jagiellonia Bialystok 4-0 Panevėžys
Jagiellonia Bialystok had far too much in their locker for an unimpressive Panevėžys side in last week’s first leg in Lithuania and a repeat of their 4-0 win on that occasion looks possible in Wednesday’s return fixture.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Panevėžys are rank outsiders
- HOME: 2/11 (1.18) – 84.6%
- DRAW: 6/1 (7.00) – 14.3%
- AWAY: 9/1 (10.00) – 10%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Jagiellonia Bialystok look like certain winners this week and they have been priced at 2/11 to beat Panevėžys for the second time on the spin. The visitors were very much second best in Lithuania and having gone four games without a win overall, they have just a 10% chance of winning in Poland according to the latest probability figures.

Player to watch – Jesus Imaz
Veteran Spanish striker Jesus Imaz is a powerful presence up front for Jagiellonia Bialystok and the 33-year-old helped himself to a hattrick in the Poles’ 4-0 win over Panevėžys in Lithuania.
Imaz could threaten again
Jesus Imaz, who has been on Jagiellonia’s books since 2019, has scored 14 times in each of his last two club campaigns, though he could be on track for an even more prolific season this time around having already notched three times in just two appearances.
