Torpedo Kutaisi vs Zira: prediction & betting odds 16 July 2026

Published: 14 July 2026 22:00

On 16 July, the second leg of the UEFA Conference League first qualifying round between Torpedo Kutaisi (Georgia) and Zira FC (Azerbaijan) will take place at the Ramaz Shengelia Stadium in Kutaisi. The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 BST.

The intrigue has all but disappeared before the opening whistle: in the first match in Sumgayit, Zira FC thrashed the Georgian side 3:0, and now Torpedo Kutaisi face what looks, at first glance, an impossible task — to overturn a huge deficit on home soil.

Betting Tip

In the first meeting, Brazilian defender Ruan Renato scored twice, including a penalty in the 63rd minute, while forward Davit Volkovi doubled the hosts' lead in the first half. Torpedo Kutaisi caused their opponents no serious problems either in attack or defence, conceding three times without scoring in reply. The scoreline fully reflected what happened on the pitch. The Georgian side had just five shots (one on target), compared with 16 attempts from their opponents.

Torpedo Kutaisi's form before this tie also raised questions — towards the end of the domestic league campaign, they won only one of their last five matches, including defeats to Gagra (1:2), Dinamo Tbilisi (0:1) and a heavy loss to Meshakhte Tkibuli (1:4). With such instability, it is extremely difficult to expect a three-goal comeback against a team who have already shown a clear advantage in the head-to-head meeting.

Zira FC, by contrast, approach the return leg with a psychological advantage and will most likely focus on controlling the scoreline rather than taking risks — the Azerbaijani side only need to avoid a heavy defeat to reach the next round. At the same time, the absence of any pressure, as well as the hosts' open approach, should allow the visitors to break away on the counterattack more than once and even extend their advantage.
