Kairat Almaty welcome Levski Sofia to the Astana Arena on 11 August 2026, trailing 1-0 on aggregate in this Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round second leg. The hosts, priced at 2.69, must find a way past a resilient Bulgarian side making their first appearance at this stage in sixteen years. The stakes could hardly be higher.
Projected final score: 1-1
Levski Sofia arrive in Almaty with a 1-0 aggregate cushion, meaning a draw is all they need to progress. Their recent form of WDWWD and a season average of just 0.6 goals conceded per game highlight a defensively disciplined unit. With 2.83 reflecting genuine value, Velázquez's side are well-placed to absorb pressure and hold firm.
Kairat must attack but are weakened by the absences of Tuyakbayev, Baibek, and Jorginho, limiting their attacking and defensive depth. Levski's compact low-block should contain the worst of the pressure, though Kairat's strong home crowd may earn one goal. A 1-1 scoreline fits the 1.60 profile, with both sides finding the net but neither threatening a high-scoring affair.

Match Analysis
Levski Sofia arrive at this second leg holding a 1-0 aggregate lead, meaning a draw is enough to advance. Priced at 2.83, they boast a 10-match unbeaten run and concede just 0.6 goals per game, making them a compelling selection.
- 1-0 first-leg lead means Levski Sofia only need a draw to progress to the next round.
- 10-match unbeaten run (6W, 4D) demonstrates consistent form heading into this decisive away fixture.
- 0.6 goals conceded per game this season underlines a defensively disciplined, low-block unit.
- Serginho's late winner in the first leg signals Levski's ability to grind out results in tight European ties.
Kairat face a steep climb at home, priced at 2.69, needing to overturn a one-goal deficit against a side built to defend. Three key absences, Lucas Áfrico suspended plus Tuyakbayev and Baibek injured, severely thin their attacking and defensive options.
- Three first-team absences (Áfrico, Tuyakbayev, Baibek) strip Kairat of key attacking and defensive cover.
- Jorginho and Martynovich also unavailable or doubtful, compounding Kairat's already stretched squad depth.
- No away-goal cushion means Kairat must score at least twice, an unlikely feat against a side conceding under one goal per match.
Key point: With both squads heavily depleted and Levski incentivised to defend, 1.60 offers a complementary angle to the draw or away prediction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main prediction for Kairat vs Levski Sofia?
The pick is Draw or Away (X2), with the draw covered at 3.32, as Levski Sofia's 1-0 aggregate lead means a level scoreline sends them through. Their 10-match unbeaten run and a miserly 0.6 goals conceded per game make them well-equipped to absorb Kairat's pressure, even away from home.
What is the highest odd for Kairat to win?
Kairat's best home-win price is available at 2.69, reflecting the steep task they face. For those seeking safer coverage, a double chance backing either a Kairat win or a draw offers a less risky entry point, though the aggregate situation still favours the visitors significantly.
Will there be more or less than 2.5 goals in this match?
Expect fewer than 2.5 goals, backed at 1.60. Levski concede just 0.6 goals per game across their last 10 outings, and with a 1-0 lead to protect, they are likely to sit deep and frustrate Kairat. A tight, low-scoring second leg is the most probable outcome here.
When and where is Kairat vs Levski Sofia played?
The match kicks off on 11 August 2026 at 9:00 PM IST (15:00 UTC) at the Astana Arena in Astana, Kazakhstan, a modern, high-capacity stadium that regularly hosts top-level club and international fixtures.
Can Levski Sofia pull off an upset against Kairat?
Levski are not the underdog here in practical terms. Holding a 1-0 first-leg advantage, their away price at 2.83 reflects a side that simply needs to avoid defeat. Their unbeaten run of 10 matches and disciplined defensive structure give them a genuine, realistic chance of progressing, even with several midfield and defensive absentees.
Which alternative market offers the best value?
The BTTS No market at 1.78 offers compelling value. Levski's defensive record of 0.6 goals conceded per game, combined with Kairat's squad disruptions including three key absentees, makes a clean sheet for one side highly plausible. Both teams scoring feels unlikely given the cautious, result-protecting nature of this second leg.
