AI match recap
Brighton begin their Conference League campaign at the Amex with form, home control and a major technical advantage behind them. Kauno Žalgiris arrive with confidence after domestic success and are set up to make Brighton work against a compact block before breaking into the channels. Squad management is the chief complication for the hosts, with several attacking absences and changes expected during a busy run. The match is likely to hinge on whether Brighton’s midfield can pull apart Kauno’s screen early enough to prevent the visitors from turning it into a transition-heavy contest.
Injuries and absences
Brighton are without Pascal Struijk for this match while Mats Wieffer is not yet ready, reducing options for controlled defensive rotation and midfield balance. Hinshelwood’s return to contention helps, but the wider attacking injury list increases the importance of the available creators and full-backs.
