Competition: Europe Champions League
Competition: Wed 21.July
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)

It's game one of two in the Champions League as Kairat host Crvena Zvezda. This is a 2nd Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.

Kairat have less rest than Crvena Zvezda in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Kazakhstan Cup game only four days ago. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Crvena Zvezda have had more rest.

These teams have little in common geographically as Crvena Zvezda have to travel 5200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Kairat form and stats

Action has already taken place for Kairat in Champions League as they have defeated Maccabi Haifa to reach the 2nd Qualifying Round. Kairat was eliminated in the 2nd qualifying round last season in the Europa League.

Kairat have performed here this season with 7 wins from 10 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0. In general it's been a long time since Kairat tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.

The Kairat fans got no joy from their last match, a Kazakhstan Cup game also here: A 0-2 defeat against Kaspiy.

Before that, Kairat had a Champions League home game versus Maccabi Haifa which ended with a victory 2-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Kairat as they have a new game in only three days, a Kazakhstan Cup match thankfully also at home. Arys are visiting.

Goals are plentiful in the league this season as Kairat has scored 30 goals here in 10 home games. Kairat are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 10 matches.

Crvena Zvezda form and stats

Crvena Zvezda was sent out of Champions League in the 3rd qualifying round last season.

In general it has been a productive period now for Crvena as they haven't lost any of their last 40 games.

Crvena delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Vojvodina in their previous match; a Super Liga game.

A draw for Crvena Zvezda before that, at their own venue hosting Partizan (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) (0-0).

A quick return to home after this game, as Crvena are hosting Mladost Lucani in the Super Liga only two days away.
