- Zalgiris Kaunas are unbeaten in their last 5 matches (W3, D2)
- KI Klaksvík are in mixed-to-good form, having won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 in their last 5
- KI Klaksvík's Pall Klettskard and Zalgiris' Amine Benchaib have been scoring in both these sides' UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 matches
Zalgiris will hope to nick it
FK Zalgiris Kaunas and KI Klaksvík met for the first time two days ago and the game ended 0-0 in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026, so the draw at 12/5 doesn't seem likely here.
Zalgiris come into the match after a 4-0 A Lyga win over Siauliai FA, but they were reined in by the more structured KI.
Since Željko Sopić took over as manager, Zalgiris have been pressing the game up, playing vertically and looking to win the ball back in front of their goal. However, KI are a solid unit and set up to counter, so we might see a midfield battle on Wednesday.
KI a compact unit
Magnus Powell has led KI Klaksvík since January 2025, shaping a compact, results-driven unit, which prefers a disciplined block and selective counterpunches. KI have built momentum in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 by beating Atert Bissen 2-1 and 2-1 before holding Zalgiris Kaunas 0-0. Overall, KI are in better form at 6-3-1 than their Lithuanian opponents, who are 4-4-2, and they have scored more goals (18) in the last 10 matches than Zalgiris (14).
Back the team
This looks like a very close UEFA tie, but Zalgiris are the favourites at 89/100, ahead of KI at 79/25 and the draw at 12/5, and have the better defensive record.
Zalgiris can nick it here, but a tighter angle looks good in the market, with Under 2.5 goals at 4/5 and Both Teams to Score - No at 9/10 our picks.
