Zira vs Torpedo Kutaisi prediction

Zira reached the playoff round of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa Conference League but they were beaten in their first game against Hajduk Split last season. The Azeri outfit have lost just two of their last nine matches in European competition.

They now face a Torpedo Kutaisi side that, under the management of former Germany international defender Dirk Schuster, finished third in the Georgian Evronuli Liga last season. They haven’t made it past the second qualifying round of a European competition since 2019.

Torpedo Kutaisi don’t quite have the UEFA competition nous that Zira, without too much sustained success, have begun to develop and so siding with Zira would be the way to go for this one.

Zira vs Torpedo Kutaisi tip: Double chance – Zira to win or draw
