Football predictions for tomorrow

A narrow road victory could be on the cards this week. Kairat slipped to 1:0 reversals in each of their last three European fixtures, and a similar outcome could prove a great value pick this week. 

Anderlecht are in good form, and should have enough quality to claim a narrow first-leg victory. The Belgians won four of their last five games, including a 1:0 win against PAOK in the Europa League third qualifying round.

Anderlecht have the form and European experience to at least avoid defeat in Kazakhstan. Kairat lost each of their last three qualifiers this summer, while the Belgians are unbeaten in five of six games played this season.

Tromso are capable of scoring, but Brighton’s pace and technical quality should eventually prove decisive. A 2:1 road win looks like a decent correct score pick.

While Besiktas are overwhelming favorites, their recent matches indicate a preference for control over chaotic scorelines. All 5 of Besiktas's competitive games this season have featured fewer than 3 goals, including a pair of disciplined 1-0 triumphs. Meanwhile, Kauno Zalgiris played out a cautious 1-1 draw against Transinvest last weekend and a 0-0 draw with KI Klaksvik earlier this summer, pointing toward another low-scoring affair.

Vincenzo Italiano has quickly transformed the Turkish giants into a defensive powerhouse, with Besiktas keeping 5 clean sheets in their first 5 games of the 2026-27 campaign. They ground out consecutive 1-0 victories over Hradec Kralove and Eyupspor recently. Kauno Zalgiris failed to score in 2 of their last 3 European away matches, suggesting they will struggle immensely to break down Besiktas's resilient backline.

Besiktas approach this play-off in stellar form under Vincenzo Italiano, having secured 5 wins from their opening 5 competitive matches this season, highlighting their vast tactical superiority. The Black Eagles recently reinforced their front line by adding world-class striker Dusan Vlahovic to their official UEFA squad. Conversely, Kauno Zalgiris suffered a heavy 7-1 aggregate defeat against Dinamo Zagreb in their last European tie, making a multi-goal home victory highly likely.

Both teams are expected to get on the scoresheet in Norway. Tromso scored 15 goals in their last four matches and will trouble the EPL favourites. Brighton have looked strong in pre-season, and should bring up a BTTS pick.

Tromso should make this a competitive first leg, but Brighton possess greater quality across the pitch. The Seagulls have picked up pre-season wins against Roma and Bologna, and seem likely to claim an entertaining away victory in northern Norway.

High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for the hosts, with all but one of their last nine games seeing over 2.5 goals scored.

Neither team impressed offensively in recent matches. Both Trabzonspor and Ferencvaros scored one or zero goals in the past five games (friendlies included). Moreover, Trabzonspor won 1:0 in their previous H2H game in Turkey.
