There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Champions League 1st Qualifying Round meeting between Kairat and Maccabi Haifa. Game on!
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Kazakhstan Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Zhetysu.
These teams have little in common geographically as Maccabi Haifa have to travel 4300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
