Tobol vs Panevėžys Preview
Tobol return to the Astana Arena holding a slender aggregate advantage after securing a 1-1 draw in Lithuania, where they dominated possession at 62% and fired 18 attempts at goal. A missed penalty in that first leg will frustrate manager Miroslav Romashchenko, but his side followed up with a 1-0 league win over Atyrau, suggesting their confidence remains intact. The familiar 4-4-2 shape should give them a solid platform at home.
Panevėžys face an uphill task in Kostanay, needing to score at least once just to stay alive in the tie. Their recent form makes grim reading: the Lithuanian side are winless across their last four matches in all competitions and find themselves locked in a genuine relegation battle in the A Lyga. Seydina Keita's first-leg opener showed they carry a threat on the counter, but a defensive approach is expected here.
Tobol's home win at 1.21 stands as the primary selection here. The Kazakh side controlled the first leg comprehensively, registering 18 attempts and holding 62% possession, yet a missed penalty prevented them from building a larger lead. That profligacy should correct itself on home turf, where Romashchenko's side recently beat Atyrau 1-0 and will carry genuine momentum.
Panevėžys face a daunting task. They must score to stay alive in this tie, yet their recent record offers little encouragement; they remain winless across their last four competitive outings. A club fighting relegation in the Lithuanian A Lyga is unlikely to suddenly discover attacking fluency against a well-organised 4-4-2 at a neutral-style venue thousands of kilometres from home.
The under 2.5 goals market at 2.14 also merits attention. Panevėžys will sit deep and rely on counter-attacks, limiting open play. Tobol's conversion struggles in the first leg suggest they may grind out a narrow 1-0 or 2-0 victory rather than a high-scoring affair. Odds correct at time of publication.

Medium confidence
Both sides line up in a 4-4-2 vs 4-4-2 mirror, setting the stage for a compact, midfield-dominated contest in Kostanay. Tobol's probable XI is backed by multiple credible sources including UEFA.com, and Panevėžys carry similar confidence in their selection, making this one of the cleaner lineup pictures you will see at this stage of Conference League qualifying.
For Tobol, Luis Guerra operating in the central midfield zone will be key to controlling tempo against a Panevėžys side that relies on collective pressing rather than individual flair. With both formations identical, the tactical battle shifts to which unit holds its shape better across two legs, and away goals could prove decisive.
