Kairat Almaty hosts Alashkert in the first leg of the Europa League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 5th at Almaty Ortalyk Stadion (Almaty)
Kairat is in a real crisis. The team gained only one victory in the last five matches. In the 3rd round of the Kazakhstan Cup, the Yellow-Blacks lost 0-2 to Caspiy Aktau, but then a rare glimpse came — they beat Crvena Zvezda at home in the Champions League qualification match (2-1). After that, Kairat significantly slowed down and lost three matches in a row. Following another defeat in the Kazakhstan Cup (0-1 against Turan), there was a defeat to Crvena Zvezda (5-0) and another loss to Turan (3-4). Kairat conceded nine out of 13 goals in the last five matches after the break. Beyond that, goals have been scored in both halves in four of the last five games with Kairat's participation. The Yellow-Blacks scored four out of five goals in the first half.

Alashkert is not better than Kairat. The Armenian club won only one victory in the last five matches either. And it was gained in extra time in the game against Connah’s Quay. The Welsh club is the only one to whom the Armenians have not lost in the last five games. After matches against the Welsh, Alashkert played two games against Sheriff Tiraspol. Both of them were lost with a total score of 1-4. The Armenians could not recover after the defeat in the Champions League and started with a loss in the championship (0-3 against Ararat-Armenia). I would like to note that Alashkert conceded five out of nine goals in the second half. The players of the Armenian club managed to score only one goal in the regulation time of their last four matches.
Kairat lost three consecutive matches, but now the team has a chance to interrupt this streak. The Yellow-Blacks fought against Turan to the last but lost with a score of 3-4. On the plus side, the players of the Kazakhstani club started to score again, which they could not do in three of the last five matches. Alashkert looks really bad. In addition to the fact that the team lost three games in a row, it also managed to score only one goal in the last four matches. Kairat is likely to achieve a positive result.
Prediction for the match: Kairat Almaty to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 2.5 goals scored
