Kauno Zalgiris will have a mountain to climb in the tie with Besiktas after a 3-0 defeat in the first leg, with the star-studded Turks now looking to finish the job in Lithuania. Kauno were completely outplayed in Istanbul and will need a huge improvement to compete with their much stronger opponents. The hosts have won 67% of their last six home matches, conceding only 0.50 goals per game, while Burba and Kastrati are pushing for a start.
Besiktas, meanwhile, demonstrated the enormous difference in quality by registering 21 goal attempts and enjoying 75% possession in the first leg. The Turkish giants have also strengthened considerably, bringing in the likes of Leandro Trossard and Dusan Vlahovic. The Black and Whites have won 60% of their last 10 matches and boast a strong 2.17 xG average. With the tie effectively decided, another dominant away performance looks likely.
Given the huge gap in quality and experience between the two sides, Away Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Besiktas Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Besiktas should create plenty of chances against a Kauno side chasing the tie).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 27 August 2026 at 18:00.
