Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Kauno Zalgiris will be looking to kickstart their Conference League qualifying campaign in style when they take on Penybont at Jonavos centrinis stadionas on Thursday afternoon. Kauno Zalgiris are seen as hot favourites to win the first leg, but boss Eivinas Cerniauskas must warn his men against complacency. Anyhow, the fact that the Lithuanians are on a four-game winning run in the national championship is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the Conference League opener.
Rhys Griffiths’ men, on the other hand, have been producing fine performances in preseason, with the team beating the likes of Porthcawl Town, Airdrieonians, and Merthyr Town in the process, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Kauno Zalgiris/ Given Penybont’s lack of experience in big games, we are tempted to put our money on the home side this time out.
