Kairat vs Omonia prediction
The first-leg of this UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie saw Kairat succumb to a slender 1-0 defeat to Omonia Nicosia at the GPS Stadion in Cyprus, with Panagiotis Andreou scoring the only goal of the game early on before Omonia were reduced to ten men with Hungary international Loic Nego then sent off.
Kairat produced victories over the likes of Slovan Bratislava and Celtic at home and on penalties to become the most eastern team to ever qualify for the UEFA Champions League, while Omonia’s compatriots Pafos qualified, too, for the league phase and this I expected to be another close contest.
Another low-scoring encounter seems likely for this one in Kazakhstan, with Kairat having made it a very tough place to go in the UEFA Champions League.
Kairat vs Omonia tip: Double chance – Kairat to win or draw & under 3.5 goals
