The Thun team has losses and today it could cost them a defeat. The legendary Dinamo club arrives, which not only has a good level, but also a lot of experience. Thun, as well as the entire Swiss league, does not give me much confidence, their level is not good and it is evident from their games against previous champions or leaders in Europe.

It won't be easy, but with such Kaunas Zalgiris games, you want to try them. Kaunas could be satisfied with a draw, so I take +0.5 handicap and hope for at least a non-losing match. It's difficult to judge the level of the Faroe Islands club, they know how to play at home, in their own stadium, but KZ arrives in such form that they have not had in the past few months. The new coach has given a good impulse and it is clear that the players have been instructed to be more aggressive in their attacks and it is showing results.

It won't be easy, but with such Kaunas Zalgiris games I want to try them. Kaunas can satisfy with a draw, so I take +0.5 handicap and hope for at least a non-defeat game. It's very difficult to evaluate the level of the Faroe Islands club, they know how to play at home, in their own stadium, but KZ is coming in such form that they haven't been in for the past few months. The new coach has given a good impulse and it's clear that the players have been given instructions to be more aggressive in attack, and that's giving results. Both teams will have opportunities to score, both look good in attack, so I choose both score and in general, I think it will end 1-1.

Zvezda team, valued at 127 million, meets with only 3.5 million Larne. After defeating even the San Marino champions, Larne now doesn't stand a chance against Zvezda, but in both matches should concede a double-digit number of goals. From the very first away game, Zvezda will dominate and crush their opponents, just like they did in the start of the league, beating Macva team 5-0, who are even more expensive than Larne.

After the world championship, we can discover very interesting options in the Champions League qualifiers, where teams with huge differences in strength often meet (like Germany and Curacao). The Serbian league winning club Zvezda has been seen quite often in the European group or league stages, both in the Champions League and the European League, winning 9 times in a row. The ten times bigger and stronger Zvezda club has more than one football player who is worth more than the entire Larne club. The Serbian giant has already started the Serbian league and has won 5-0 at home, with 3 of these goals coming in the first half. Zvezda is not in their best form yet, but they are used to playing in qualifiers, so it's not new to them. Even though the game is away, this club must dominate and crush their opponents from the start of the game, which I hope will happen.

The interesting coefficients for Zvezda should essentially result in an easy victory against their opponents. The opponent from Northern Ireland, a league which is considered to be of lower level, is only taken into consideration due to their recent struggles against a club from San Marino. If it weren't for the red cards, it's uncertain whether they would have advanced to this stage. Zvezda, a regular participant in European football, has a strong Serbian national team dominating the sport and winning all league titles since 2018. I can't imagine the hosts not winning by at least 3-0, and there is also a possibility of an over.

In the heat of the local league, Peru Kairat club, which has already passed one qualifying round for the Champions League, does not seem significantly weaker even away from home. Like Kairat, Omonia is a better team in their own league and has experience in European tournaments, but realistically, in every aspect, the Kazakhstan team looks better or more superior at the moment, especially since Omonia club is just beginning their season while Kairat is playing solidly and productively with 6 consecutive games with 2 scored goals.

Another meeting between David and Goliath, but this time in the qualifying round of the conference league. The much larger and stronger Braga club will test its strength against the weakest representative of Serbia in Europe this season. Braga is a very solid club with great experience in Europe, and well-known and formidable footballers who have ensured Serbia's celebrations. This is the first time for the Serbian club in Europe, so it is difficult to expect good results from them, especially against such a strong opponent. Braga's team has shown excellent attacking skills in friendly matches and consistently scores goals, so not only a victory for Peru, but also a goals handicap, seems very likely in this match.

The Galen club is valued at even 35 million, but it is still ten times smaller budget than Benfica club. One of the biggest Portuguese teams, Benfica is an excellent club with high ambitions, as shown by the signing of Fulham coach and having highly skilled football players, desired by the biggest European clubs. In friendly matches, the Swiss vice-champions faced opponents of varying ability, but the last ones were quite strong, but still overpowered the Swiss team. Benfica may not have played many friendlies, but the strength and power of this team is significantly greater, which I believe will be reflected in the result.

The Serbian club Vojvodina has already been eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers, losing both matches against Ferencvaros, and now they face an even stronger, more capable and well-known Ajax club in the Europa League. Two years ago, these clubs met in the Europa League qualifiers and Ajax clearly showed their superiority, winning both matches. I hope for the same outcome in this qualifier. The Ajax team is very young, with an average age of 24.7 years, while Vojvodina is even younger with an average age of 23.8 years. This gives Ajax the advantage because their youth is significantly better, and they also have more experience, as they have consistently played in the group stages and knockout rounds of the Europa League.
