Arda vs Kauno Zalgiris prediction
The reason as to why Arda Kardzhali have a brilliant opportunity to surpass all expectations is because they won the first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round tie by a goal to nil at the Darius and Girenas Stadium last week. Defensive midfielder Damjan Pavlovic was sent off for Kauno Zalgiris in the fifth minute, before Arda eventually took advantage of that by scoring a 53rd minute winner scored by half-time substitute Antonio Vutov, who then got injured late on in the game.
Arda pulled off a surprise defeat of Finnish giants HJK Helsinki in the second qualifying round, whilst Kauno Zalgiris have edged past Penybont and then Valur Reykjavik.
Kauno Zalgiris will believe they would have come through the first-leg with an advantage had they not gone down to ten men, and they have to be seen as slight favourites for a good value bet here.
