<p data-start="819" data-end="1323">Besiktas travel to Lithuania with an excellent 3–0 advantage from the first leg. The Turkish side can approach the return match with confidence and does not need to take unnecessary risks. Kauno Zalgiris will have to attack from the beginning if they want to create any realistic hope of overturning the deficit, which could leave spaces for Besiktas to exploit. The visitors possess significantly greater European experience and individual quality. <strong data-start="1269" data-end="1323">The away win at 1.40 is the recommended selection.</strong></p>

<p data-start="1360" data-end="1544"><strong data-start="1360" data-end="1404">&#x1f3c6; Europa League – Qualification – Final</strong><br data-start="1404" data-end="1407" />&#x1f555; <strong data-start="1410" data-end="1419">18:00</strong><br data-start="1419" data-end="1422" />&#x1f3df;&#xfe0f; Åråsen Stadion, Lillestrøm<br data-start="1452" data-end="1455" />&#x1f4ca; <strong data-start="1458" data-end="1495">First leg: Egnatia 0–0 Lillestrom</strong><br data-start="1495" data-end="1498" />&#x1f3af; <strong data-start="1501" data-end="1518">Tip: Home Win</strong><br data-start="1518" data-end="1521" />&#x1f4b0; <strong data-start="1524" data-end="1544">Odds: 1.47 @Bwin</strong></p>
<p data-start="1546" data-end="2019">Everything remains undecided after the goalless first meeting. Lillestrom now have the advantage of playing at Åråsen Stadion, where home support could provide an important boost. Egnatia demonstrated defensive discipline in the first leg, but maintaining the same level of resistance away from home could prove difficult. Lillestrom should be more proactive and are expected to create the better scoring opportunities. <strong data-start="1966" data-end="2019">The home win at 1.47 is our preferred prediction.</strong></p>

<p data-start="2258" data-end="2728">CSKA Sofia face a difficult task after losing the first leg 0–3 in Crete. Despite the substantial deficit, the Bulgarian side should be highly motivated to produce a positive result in front of its home supporters. OFI Crete can afford to play more defensively and protect their aggregate advantage, which may give CSKA greater control of possession. A home victory is possible even if qualification remains out of reach. <strong data-start="2680" data-end="2728">The home win at 1.41 is the recommended tip.</strong></p>

<p data-start="2960" data-end="3424">Anderlecht are in a commanding position after winning the first leg 3–0. The Belgian side now returns to Lotto Park with qualification virtually within reach and should have the confidence to control the game. Kairat Almaty need to score early and take risks, but this could expose them to dangerous counterattacks. Anderlecht&#8217;s home advantage and superior squad quality make them strong favorites once again. <strong data-start="3370" data-end="3424">The home win at 1.40 is the selection to consider.</strong></p>
