Brann's numbers are a lot more mixed. Nine wins and eight losses from their last 20 games, with 34 scored but 31 conceded, points to a side that can score goals but also leaks them. Results like a 4-2 away win at Apollon Limassol sit alongside home defeats and away losses in the Eliteserien.

Kauno Žalgiris look the more settled side on recent evidence, though Brann's ability to score freely means they're never far from a result.

A discipline note to watch

The only individual detail we have is on Brann's F. Knudsen, who's picked up three yellow cards in his last six appearances. That's a fairly high rate and worth keeping an eye on, though it doesn't tell us anything definite about his availability for this specific fixture.

Two different roads to this stage

Kauno Žalgiris have come through a demanding European run, facing Dinamo Zagreb, KI Klaksvik, Drita and Beşiktaş before landing in the Conference League. That's tougher opposition than their domestic league games, and they've handled a good chunk of it well.

Brann's European ties have gone through PAOK, Apollon Limassol and Universitatea Cluj, with mixed results including a home defeat to Apollon Limassol sandwiched between other results. Neither side's continental sample is huge, so it's hard to say with certainty how that experience carries into this particular game.

Both sides have shown they can raise their level in Europe, but neither has been consistently dominant against varied opposition.
