Will Almaty make it to the Champions League group stage?
Welcome to the third round of Champions League qualifying and, in particular, to the Almaty vs. Slovan Bratislava prediction. Never before has the Kazakh representative reached this stage of CL qualifying. Their two previous appearances in qualifying ended in the second round at the latest.
You need to take time zones and flight times into account in your Almaty vs. Slovan Bratislava prediction, as well as the potential of both squads. If it were just about the quality of the team, the visitors would probably have a slight advantage in the Almaty – Slovan Bratislava odds.
However, our analysis leans more towards the Almaty – Slovan Bratislava betting odds for various match combinations that rule out a defeat for the yellow-and-blues. A 1.87-fold win is possible if you play “Double Chance 1X & Over 1.5 Goals” at ODDSET.
Almaty – Slovan Bratislava Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Outside of European competitions, there would be little apparent reason for the officials of both clubs to arrange a friendly match. As expected, the current national champions from Kazakhstan and Slovakia have not yet faced each other.
The home side’s recent results are relevant, especially from their previous home games in the Champions League qualifiers. Kairat Almaty won surprisingly at home against NK Olimpija (2-0) in the first round. Rafael Urazbakhtin’s team then turned around a 0-2 first-leg defeat against KuPS in their own stadium, winning 3-2 in front of 22,800 spectators and earning themselves a place in the third round.
Almaty – Slovan Bratislava Tip
The visitors’ defense is giving coach Vladimir Weiss sleepless nights in this young season. Slovan Bratislava has conceded two goals in each of its two away games so far this season and is still without a win on the road.
In addition, the Belasi have been waiting for a clean sheet for three competitive games. Following the long flight and the additional strain of jet lag, we could understand a few lapses in concentration in the visitors’ defense. We recommend the match combination “Double Chance 1X & Over 1.5 Goals.”
