The UEFA Europa League qualification final round contest between Super Lig side Besiktas and Kauno Zalgiris takes place at Tüpraş Stadyumu on Thursday, August 20, 2026. Besiktas enters the contest following a 2-0 aggregate win over Hradec Kralove, while their opponents enter following a 7-1 aggregate loss in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers to Dinamo Zagreb.

Besiktas know a win will seal their place in the 2026-27 UEL campaign and a chance at flexing their muscles in Europe, while Kauno Zalgiris will be desperate to stand a chance of playing in Europe this year. The home side have shown impressive skill and desire in recent outings, winning five games on the bounce. Kauno Zalgiris have only managed two wins in recent games, which understates the amount of work that remains to be done under head coach Zeljko Sopic.
