Kauno Žalgiris vs KI Klaksvik
📖 The Preview
The first leg finished goalless in the Faroe Islands so this one's all to play for, and with Žalgiris at home carrying a 57% win probability, the edge is firmly with the Lithuanian side. Their recent form is solid and playing in front of their own crowd in a knockout tie where someone has to blink first suits them nicely. KI Klaksvik aren't coming just to make up the numbers though, hence the both teams scoring, but Žalgiris nicking a 2-1 on the night feels right given where the momentum sits.
