Kauno Zalgiris vs Drita prediction

Kauno Zalgiris come into this one on the back of a goalless draw with Dziugas, meaning that they sit as low as fourth in the Lithuanian A Lyga, behind Dziugas, Suduva Marijampole and TransINVEST. 

Drita enjoyed their most famous season in Europe last year as they reached the knockout playoff stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League, losing to Celje. Drita have now won a European tie in six of the seven seasons in which they have entered into UEFA competition.

Kauno were surprise champions in Lithuania last year and they have now faded and Drita will be confident of winning both legs of this tie.

Kauno Zalgiris vs Drita tip: Drita to win
