Kairat Almaty vs Omonia Nicosia
📖 The Preview
Kairat are in a brilliant run of form and playing at home with everything to fight for — they're a goal down from the first leg and need to win this to stay in the competition. That desperation at home, combined with nine wins from their last ten, makes them a proper threat tonight. Omonia have done well to hold the advantage and aren't pushovers, but the model sees Kairat finding the net twice without reply, which would be just enough to send them through. A tight, controlled 2-0.
