A maiden Welsh FA Cup success in 2025/26 earned Caernarfon Town a spot in the first qualifying round of the Conference League, with their first leg against FCI Levadia taking place at The Oval on Thursday.
This is Caernarfon's second Conference League appearance after reaching the second qualifying round in 2024/25, beating Crusaders on penalties before losing 11-0 on aggregate to Legia Warsaw.
Levadia have been continental regulars but never made the main draw of any competition.
Last season, they lost to RFS of Latvia in the UEFA Champions League before beating Georgia's Iberia 1999 in this competition, but lost 5-4 over two legs to Luxembourg outfit Differdange 03.

Caernarfon Town v FCI Levadia Prediction
Best Bet: FCI Levadia to win and both teams to score @ 2/1
While Caernarfon have had to prepare with friendlies, Levadia are in the middle of their domestic campaign and sit top of the Meistriliiga.
After finishing second last term, Vjatseslav Zahovaiko took over ahead of the 2026 campaign and looks set to guide the team to a 12th title.
Saturday's 3-1 win at Narva was a good response to the 2-1 home loss to Flora and they are unbeaten away from home this season, winning nine and drawing once.
It was also the seventh of Levadia's last eight games in which both teams have scored, and the ninth of their last 10 away matches.
That will give the Canaries hope, but it is hard to envisage anything other than Thursday's visitors taking an advantage back to Estonia.
Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 Goals @ 5/4
Goals are also a feature of Levadia's European games. Including fixtures that went to extra time, their last three continental matches have all featured four or more goals.
Two of Caernarfon's final three home games last season featured four or more goals, so expect excitement at The Oval.
Caernarfon Town v FCI Levadia Bet Builder Tip
Result: FC Levadia Tallinn
Over 2 Goals
Most Goals in 2nd Half
Most Corners: FC Levadia Tallinn
Pays 9/2
Backing Levadia feels like a sensible place to begin a Bet Builder, as does over two goals in the game, given the recommended tips.
Getting behind the second half having the most goals could also be shrewd. Being in mid-season, the visitors are sure to be fitter and a rusty Caernarfon could fall away after the break.
The pressure will come on from Zahovaiko's visitors, also potentially resulting in them having the most corners in the game.
