Kairat Almaty vs Kyzylzhar tips and predictions

Hosts price doesn't appeal

Kyzylzhar are a monster price and this preview will try to find evidence for them to overachieve here, insane as that sounds.

The hosts are unanimously picked to win but they aren't unbeatable. In recent home matches Kairat Almaty's forwards haven't been firing on all cylinders. They've been goalless in 4 of their last 7 game on their own soil which is a fact that will give backers of the upset some confidence. When defending Kairat Almaty's performances have at times lacked urgency. They need to tidy things up at the back. Letting in an average of 1.7 goals across their latest 10 games has been problematic.

If you consider that Kyzylzhar have won their last 3 trips away it becomes tempting to make a case for them upsetting the odds. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 7 away matches. At face value it does look like a depressing match-up for the away side. The visitors might just do the impossible here. They've scored 3.6 goals on average over their last 5 games. Their strikers will have to add to these numbers to have any chance whatsoever here.

No one will be surprised if one of these sides tries to close the game down because Kairat Almaty are such big favourites. But the odds-against for the BTTS Yes is the best way to extract some value from this fixture. As far as the total goals line goes, it's Under 3.5 Goals for this one considering the prices available.
