Kauno Zalgiris vs BesiktasPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Europa League play-off return sees Besiktas already ahead after a 3-0 win in Turkey against Kauno Zalgiris a week ago. The Turks arrive on a run of five straight wins, including two matches against Hradec Kralove, both won 1-0, and a 2-0 win over FC Midtjylland. Kauno Zalgiris, on the other hand, are coming off a difficult stretch: beyond the first-leg loss, there is a heavy 0-5 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb and another 1-2 loss to the same Croatian side, with their only win a 2-0 result against Hegelmann Litauen. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
