FK Kauno Žalgiris host Kosovan champions FC Drita in the first leg of the 2026-27 Champions League first qualifying round on Tuesday. The Green-Whites, unbeaten in their last three matches, are clear favourites against an FC Drita side that has lost momentum in recent weeks, hence our prediction in support of the home team.
FK Kauno Žalgiris’ hopes of a first-time qualification for the Champions League main phase was sniffed out just in the first qualifying round last season, as they fell 13–10 via penalties to Ħamrun Spartans after a 2–2 aggregate draw. This time around, the Lithuanian champions will look to go a step further with a strong start on Tuesday.
Algis Jankauskas’ men have every reason to be confident of a much-needed victory on Saturday. They played out a goalless draw with domestic league leaders Dziugas Telsiai last week, narrowing the deficit to the top to just two points. That result also made it three matches without a loss for the team (W2, D1).
FC Drita have witnessed a shocking drop-off after successfully securing the Kosovan Super League title with a 2–0 victory over Ballkani on Matchday 33. They lost all three of their final fixtures in the season, including a 3–2 defeat to Malisheva in their last competitive outing.
Moreover, the Intellectuals’ subdued end-of-the-season finish has stretched into their preparatory friendlies for this continental campaign, with all three of those pre-season outings in Slovenia ending with defeats.

FK Kauno Žalgiris enter this fixture in much better form and will be confident of seeing off the Kosovan champions. Our FK Kauno Žalgiris vs FC Drita prediction: FK Kauno Žalgiris wins.
