Betting suggestion:

By playing alongside their supporters it is very important for Kairat Almaty to have control and to set the pace of the game to build their attack plays. The away team should play with some caution, making an aggressive pressing but at the same time trying to find space to explore attack moves. We believe that this will be a very busy game, in which the two teams will be able to create some goal opportunities during the match. Therefore we will bet that more than 2.5 goals will be scored until the end of the 90 minutes.

Preview
Kairat and AZ meet at Ortalıq Stadion, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Europa League (2nd Qualifying Round). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Kairat

The home team comes to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (2nd Qualifying Round) after a home win by (7‑1) and a away win by (0‑3) against Engordany. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 14 wins and 1 loss at their stadium. They come to this match after a away loss against Ordabasy by (2‑1). Kairat has won 9 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 18 of the last 19 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 13 out of 19 have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

This should be a very difficult game for Kairat Almaty, because they will face a high quality team in their stadium, so it will be very important that the home team can present high quality football within the four lines. Because it is a knock-out stage, it is important to build a good result at home, as such, Kairat Almaty will have to have the initiative to play. The coach should take to the game what is best at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Vladimir Plotnikov, Sergei Politevich, Sheldon Bateau, Gafurzhan Suyumbaev, Yan Vorogovskiy, Islambek Kuat, Bauyrzhan Islamkhan, Isael, Alves, Aderinsola Habib Eseola, Andrey Arshavin.
Coach: K. Berdyev.

Analysis AZ

The team plays its first match in this edition of the UEFA Europa League with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 33 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 37 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away win against Zulte‑Waregem by (0‑1). In the last 10 away matches AZ has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 21 of the last 23 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

AZ Alkmaar make their debut in the competition, and arrive for this game very confident because they know that they have all the conditions to achieve their goal, which is to qualify for the next stage. Even playing away from home, AZ Alkmaar should not be limited to defend, since they have enough quality to achieve even a victory away from home, although this is not easy. The coach of the team should have the squad at the maximum strength for this clash, so he should present an initial eleven very competitive and that will fight for a good result.

Confirmed Lineup: Marco Bizot, Ron Vlaar, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Jonas Svensson, Thomas Ouwejan, Mats Seuntjens, Guus Til, Fredrik Midtsjø, Myron Boadu, Fred Friday, Oussama Idrissi.
Coach: M. Martens.
