Kauno Zalgiris face an almost impossible task when they welcome Dinamo Zagreb in the second leg of their Champions League third qualifying-round tie. The Lithuanian champions trail 5-0 from the first meeting after being completely outplayed in Croatia, managing just three goal attempts throughout the match. Karashima and Iyobosa Edokpolor are both pushing for recalls as Kauno look to restore some pride in front of their home supporters. The hosts have been strong on home soil of late, winning three of their last four matches and conceding just one goal during that run, but overturning such a huge deficit appears highly unlikely.
Dinamo Zagreb travel to Lithuania with one foot firmly in the playoff round after a dominant display in the first leg. Mario Kovačević is expected to rotate his squad, with Mislav Oršić, Petar Sučić Topic, and Lukas Kačavenda all pushing for starting spots. Even with changes, the Croatian giants possess far greater quality and confidence, having won eight of their last ten matches while averaging 2.3 goals per game. After registering nine shots on target in the first encounter, Dinamo should once again create plenty of chances against the Lithuanian champions.
Dinamo Zagreb remain the stronger side despite likely squad rotation. Therefore, our main prediction firmly points toward Away Win, alongside Dinamo Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (the first leg produced five goals, and another open contest is expected).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 11 August 2026 at 18:00.
