Your European scoreline 1st round prediction?

Well, it'll be close I'd say, Cork might do it though. Judging by that comparison, Ekranas can score more. They beat someone 8-0 three games ago, let's hope Cork can get a result away and win at home.

Should listen to the person who's leading the predictions league, lads!

Where do people get there confidence for the Cork game? These Ekranas boys look tough.

FBK Kaunas - league winners the last six years - had a tough game against HB Tórshavn today - won 4-2 away in the end, but twice got pegged abck to within a goal. HB aren't a bad team (having watched their reserves! ), but they never play on grass (their league is astro) and rarely win in Europe, so that's not a great indication of their league's strength (even if it just one match).

They beat someone 8-0 three games ago

There's always a huge gap between top and bottom in the former Russian bloc leagues, and in particular the Baltic leagues. You're far more likely to see results like that than, say, Cork putting five past an eL team...!

Edit - OK, the team they beat are fourth in the league...!

Well, you can always say that there's a huge gap between the top three and the rest of the league!
