Brighton are competing in European competition for the first time since making a last-16 appearance in the 2023-24 Europa League.

Fabian Hurzeler's side will be looking to record a fifth consecutive victory in all competitions after winning their last four by a combined 13-2 scoreline, including a 2-0 success in their recent Premier League outing against Sunderland. 

Kauno Zalgiris, meanwhile, are set to feature in a third different European competition last term after losing in the Champions League third qualifying round and the Europa League playoff round.
