Neman
Igor Kovalevich's team suffered a 0-2 defeat away in the first leg, ending their four-match unbeaten run in the Europa Conference League (3 wins, 1 draw). Additionally, this was only the fourth time in 13 matches in this European competition that Neman conceded more than one goal. To progress to the next stage, the club needs to win by at least three goals in regular time. Notably, the Belarusians have never advanced beyond the third qualifying round of any European competition before.
- At least four goals have been scored in regular time in 3 of Neman's last 4 home matches in the Europa Conference League.
- The team from Grodno has scored in 5 of their last 6 home games in this European competition.
- At least two goals have been scored in the second half in Neman's last five home matches in the Europa Conference League.
Predicted lineup for Neman (4-5-1)
Maxim Belov – Amantur Shamurzaev, Egor Parkhomenko, Ivan Sadovnichiy, Yuri Pavlyukovets – Oleg Evdokimov, Artur Nazarenko, Mikhail Kozlov, Sergey Pushnyakov, Anton Suchkov – Egor Zubovich.
KI Klaksvik
In the first leg, the Faroese side outplayed their opponents at home, extending their unbeaten run in the Europa Conference League to five games (4 wins, 1 draw). Moreover, KI Klaksvik has not conceded in their last four matches in this tournament. To advance further, the team needs to avoid losing by more than one goal after 90 minutes. If they lose by a two-goal margin, extra time will be played. It is worth noting that in the previous two seasons, the Faroese team reached at least the final qualifying round of a European competition.
- The team has not won in regular time in 7 of their last 8 away matches in the Europa Conference League (2 draws, 5 losses).
- The club conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 7 away games in this European competition.
- Teams have scored exactly 2 or 3 goals in regular time in 5 of KI Klaksvik's last 6 away matches in the Europa Conference League.
Predicted lineup for KI Klaksvik (3-5-2)
Sebastian Jon – Gaston Telchea, Joannes Danielsen, Odmar Faero – Arni Frederiksberg, Deni Pavlovic, Rene Joensen, Hallur Hansson, Jakup Andreasen – Pall Klettskard, Patrik Johannesen.

Neman vs. KI Klaksvik: Match Prediction
The Belarusians had a disappointing away game and will surely give their all to make a comeback. In my opinion, Neman is capable of performing better this time, especially since they have won three of their four matches in this season's Europa Conference League (1 draw). Additionally, the club has suffered only two defeats in their last six home games in this European competition (2 wins, 2 draws).
Meanwhile, KI Klaksvik cannot boast of successful away performances on the European stage. In their last eight away encounters in the Europa Conference League, the team has managed to win only once, with five losses in that span. Moreover, the club's defense is not particularly strong: they have conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 7 away matches in the Europa Conference League.
I expect Igor Kovalevich's side to achieve a positive result in this match. My prediction: Neman with a handicap (0)
