0 : 0
Kauno Žalgiris
Champions League
The first leg game was these teams' only one in their history. It resulted in a 0:0, but Klaksvik were closer to winning the game in our opinion. They had more control and had seven shots on target, unlike Kauno Zalgiris, which had zero shots on goal for the entire 90 minutes.
Kauno Žalgiris team overview
Kauno Zalgiris had a historic last season, finally managing to win the league title, their first-ever major title in their 22-year history. Due to a different football calendar than most European leagues, Kauno Zalgiris have already played more than half of their domestic league games. After 20 rounds, they sit in 1st place with 34 points and are one point away from second-placed Suduva.
When it comes to Europe, this team hasn't had much success. They have never gone past the 3rd Qualifying Round of any European competition and will now have a chance to at least tie that record with a win over Klaksvik. Even if they lose, they will have the opportunity to play in the 3rd round of the Europa League Qualifiers.

Klaksvík team overview
Klaksvik secured their league title last year, winning their 22nd league title in their history. Besides the league title, they also won the Cup title. Similarly to Lithuania, their domestic league has long begun. After 16 rounds, they sit in 2nd place with 31 points - just three points away from the top spot.
In Europe, this team is a pretty regular participant in the Qualifiers. But unlike Kauno Zalgiris, which had almost no success, Klaksvik had some really good displays and even secured the Group Stage of the Conference League in the 2023/24 season. However, a negative thing before the second leg is that almost all of their positive results came at home. The bookies do not trust that they can make it to the next round of the CL Qualifiers, offering odds up to 3.15 on that bet.
A massive problem for the Faroe Islands team is the injury to Arni Frederiksberg. The 34-year-old winger has been their best offensive player with 10 goals and 15 assists in 23 appearances. He suffered an injury in the 16th minute of the Kauno Zalgiris game and will most likely be out for a significant period.

Prediction
Even though Kauno Zalgiris are the favorite for this game, we are not too convinced they will have an easy time scoring against Klaksvik, considering they failed to shoot on the goal in the first leg. Also, at home, they have had some questionable offensive performances, failing to score in three of the past six games across competitions. So, expecting a great offensive display seems unreal.
Meanwhile, Klaksvik have had some problems securing positive results on the road, and we believe they will not attack carelessly and will approach the game with caution. In the past 15 European road games, Klaksvik had a 3-3-9 (W-D-L) record and have scored one or zero goals in 11 of those 15 games - 73%. Also, they will be without Arni Frederiksberg in this game, and we believe they could struggle to create goalscoring chances.
Considering we saw a goalless draw in the first leg, and all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best possible bet for this Champions League Qualifiers tie.
5 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- The first leg finished as a goalless draw
- Kauno Zalgiris failed to shoot on the goal in the first 90 minutes
- Kauno Zalgiris failed to score in three of the past six home games
- Klaksvik scored one or zero goals in the last 15 road European games
- Klaksvik will miss their best offensive player, Arni Fredriksberg
