Kairat vs Olimpija prediction
Ahead of the return leg in Kazakhstan this week, Kairat and Olimpija Ljubljana are locked at one apiece. Kairat, with one travelling supporter who was celebrated by the players, took a 59th minute lead at the Stozice Stadium last week via Dastan Satpaev, before Diogo Pinto equalised for the Slovenians a few minutes’ later.
Kairat haven’t quite hit the heights of other Kazakh sides in European football, such as Astana reaching the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. Olimpija, on the other hand, have been developing and emerging further, heaving reached last season’s UEFA Europa Conference League league phase.
Kairat will fancy themselves with home advantage but it is expected to be another close contest in which both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one.
Kairat vs Olimpija tip: Both teams to score
