Prediction: 2-0
Kauno Zalgiris
Lech Poznan welcome Kauno Zalgiris to their Enea Stadium in the first leg of the Europa Conference League 2nd qualifying round. Lech Poznan are seen as one of the main favourites to advance to the group stages and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Lithuanian outfit. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Sweden attacker Mikael Ishak, who scored 11 goals in the Polish top flight last term.
Kauno Zalgiris, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run in the national championship ahead of the trip to Poland. Even though the Lithuanian A Lyga is in a full swing, we are tempted to put our money on Lech Poznan, who have been playing an important role in European competitions in recent years. This will be the first meeting between the two sides in the Conference League.
