Kairat Almaty take on the visitors Kisvarda in the first leg of quarterfinals of UEFA Conference League qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, July 21th at Almaty Ortalyk Stadion (Almaty).
Kairat have been quite successful lately. The "Yellow-black" were a symbol of Kazakh football in Soviet times. But, most importantly, it was this club that was able to break Astana's dominance in the domestic arena, becoming the country's champion in 2020. It was not possible to keep the 1st place, but there was also a certain compensation in the form of a cup - by the way, it was won for the 10th time. Now the intermediate results are rather mediocre, the backlog from the leader, Aktobe, is already quite large in the middle of the season. It is all the more important to succeed in the international arena. By the way, Kairat in the last draw reached the group stage, however, the debut Conference League ended in 4th place.

Kisvarda will make their debut in European competition. The "Red-Whites" were formally founded over 100 years ago. But the current project was actually launched in 2003. And it was possible to rise to the top league of Hungary only in 2018. The distinctive thing about this team is the active use of players from neighboring Ukraine. And in the last draw, the best result in history was recorded. It turned out to take 2nd place - and only Ferencvaros is higher, which is simply unattainable for all pursuers now in the domestic arena. The result of Kisvarda was not sky-high, only 16 wins in 33 matches. But still they scored 59 points, 5 more than the Puskas Academy. This allowed us to finally debut in the Europa League. But the mentor who achieved such a breakthrough, Laszlo Eros, left. He was replaced by Laszlo Turok, for whom this is a serious challenge.
Kisvarda will play the first match in the European Cup in Kazakhstan. So it is not surprising that this will be their debut duel with the Kazakhs. For Kazakhs, the factor of their field is extremely important. So we recommend betting on the fact that Kairat will be able to beat Kisvarda, who are making her debut on the international arena, at home.
Prediction for the match: Kairat Almaty to win.
