Brighton will kick off their Europa Conference League journey at home against Lithuanian side Kauno Zalgiris this week. The Premier League side has had a stellar run in the season so far and hopes to transfer the same to Europe.
In the long run, the Seagulls will be looking to join the distinguished club of English sides that have won this title. In the first five editions of the UECL, Premier League sides have hoisted the title three times. Crystal Palace are the current holders, with Chelsea and West Ham United having also claimed the honor.
Meanwhile, Zalgiris are set to become the fourth Lithuanian side to compete in Europe after winning the league title back home. Their qualification journey started from the Champions League qualifiers, then the Europa League, before they found their way here. Now the target is to be the first Lithuanian team to win an away game at a major European competition. Not many bets will align with that prediction, though.

Brighton - FK Zalgiris Kaunas: Form Analysis
Brighton are making their second appearance in Europe, and they look like a team to go deep in the Conference League. Despite being inexperienced at this stage, there are many quarters billing the Seagulls as favorites for the title.
It isn’t a surprise, though, given their solid start to the season, which sees them come here off a five-game unbeaten run, with just one of the matches being a draw. Among the teams they beat in this run were the champions of England, Arsenal, and giants Manchester United. Brighton negotiated their way through the qualifiers, beating Tromso 4-0 on aggregate, and have posted six wins in their nine matches so far.
Brighton haven’t conceded a goal in three of their last four matches.
What Zalgiris are headed to here is akin to baptism by fire. Brighton have only failed to score three or more goals once at home this season. They have won three of their four home matches, and now Zalgiris will be looking to stop this run.
The Lithuanians have already fallen in Europe this season, losing in the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers. They lost to Dinamo Zagreb and Besiktas and come here eyeing a turnaround. There will not be many avenues for inspiration, but Zalgiris will seek encouragement from winning the Lithuanian Cup last weekend.

Brighton & FK Zalgiris Kaunas Squad Analysis
Pascal Gross has easily stood out as Brighton’s star player this season. The German had only failed to have a goal contribution once in the last six matches – against Leeds United, which ended 1-1. In those six matches, he had four goals and as many assists.
Despite being deployed in defensive positions, Gross is the team’s leading scorer and assist provider. The only blemish on his record in this period was the yellow card picked against Leeds. Dutchman Bert Verbruggen has also played a part in the team’s solid performances, with six clean sheets so far. He will be in line for another here.
Jack Hinshelwood is set to sit out his eighth game at Brighton.
At Zalgiris, much focus will be on their Croatian forward Leon Krekovic, who is enjoying a good scoring run in recent matches. He netted in Zalgiris’ elimination of Klaksvik in the preliminaries.
The 26-year-old went on to have seven more goal involvements after that, though none in Europe. His latest strike came as they won the Lithuanian Cup in the more recent match, and he will hope to carry that form here.

Our Brighton vs FK Zalgiris Kaunas Prediction
Brighton are enjoying a fast start to the season, and their only defeat this term was in the seven-goal thriller against Chelsea. That was one of the rare occurrences where the Seagulls’ defence just went missing in action.
Brighton’s backline rarely goes to sleep, the reason they’ve managed six clean sheets in nine outings. With Zalgiris struggling in Europe and failing to score in three straight, it is almost a guarantee that Brighton will keep a clean sheet in a high-scoring game. Our prediction for Brighton v Zalgiris is for Over 2.5 goals & BTTS-No.
