REF’s picks

Brann bring the greater European pedigree and attacking punch through Niklas Castro, making them well-equipped to overcome a Kauno side struggling for momentum. However, with the visitors missing key figures and rarely shutting opponents out away from home, backing Brann on the -0.75 Asian line covers us against a tight contest while backing their superior quality.

1. 1Brann's Niklas Castro has netted six times in six European outings this term, spearheading their continental push.
2. 2Kauno Zalgiris suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Brighton recently and have leaked 14 goals across their last five matches.
3. 3The Norwegian side has defensive vulnerabilities of their own and travel without suspended and injured personnel, meaning a narrow victory remains a distinct possibility.
