Command Analysis
FK Kauno Zalgiris
Kauno Zalgiris managed to beat two opponents in the Champions League qualifiers. The Lithuanian club defeated Kosovo Drita (1:1, 3:2) and Faroese Klaksvik (0:0, 1:0), After that, he lost to Dinamo Zagreb. (0:5, 1:2). In the Europa League, the hosts predictably took off from the Turkish Besiktas (0:3, 1:0), once in the Conference League. Here, in the first round, the Lithuanians failed to impose a fight on one of the leaders of the English Premier League, Brighton (0-4). It is worth noting that with such a formidable opponent, they managed to hold out for 40 minutes without conceding goals.
Brann
Brann cannot be happy with his performance in the Norwegian Top League. In the last two matches, the club suffered defeats from Viking (0:2) and Volerenga (1:3), ending up only in seventh place. Probably, the guests will not get into the European Cup next season. But now the guests have achieved participation in the main stage of the Conference League, where they managed to start with a home victory over Gibraltar Lincoln (2:1).
On paper, Brann looks like a clear favorite, but things are not going well for the Norwegians right now. The club has only won once in the last four matches, and the victory over the Lincoln Red Imps turned out to be inconclusive. Brann then conceded first, and managed to score the winning goal only in the 81st minute. Kauno Zalgiris lost heavily in the first round, but his opponent was one of the strongest in the tournament. Lithuanians will surely compete with Brann.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) on Kauno Zalgiris for 1.70
