Levski look good value for a win
Form and style
PFC Levski Sofia, the Bulgarian giants, have won four and drawn one of their last five matches and should have enough momentum to beat the talented Kairat Almaty team on Tuesday. Levski have won three of their four home games this year in all competitions and only conceded twice in these 360 minutes of play. They're in ten matches (5 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss) and have played some impressive football at times under Julio Velazquez, who has moulded them into a possession-first side that can play through the thirds in multiple shapes and keep the ball moving.
Recent results
Their last three results have been a 1-0 home win over Universitatea Craiova in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026, a 2-1 away win at Lokomotiv Sofia in Parva Liga 2026/2027 and a 2-2 away draw with Universitatea Craiova in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026. Everton Bala has been their creative spark in the final third with 4 assists in his last 5 appearances as Levski have scored 11 goals in that period.
Kairat are flying
Form and results
Kairat come into the game on an even better run, winning nine and losing only once in their last ten in all competitions. The Kazakhs have recorded consecutive victories in their previous two outings, beating Ordabasy Shymkent 2-1 at home in Premier League 2026 and Omonia FC Nicosia 2-0 at home in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026.
Style and threats
Rafael Urazbakhtin has given them a sharper vertical edge than Levski, who are perhaps a little more patient in their build-up. Kairat look to attack with their wide players, move the ball quickly in transitions and trigger defensive pressing from their midfielders. Edmilson Filho has been their hottest threat with 3 goals in their last 5 matches, including 1 goal in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 (4 games). The Brazilian striker will be Kairat's main goal threat and he is currently full of confidence.
Levski to just edge a close game
Levski have just enough quality and momentum to nick this one, but Kairat's form is so good that it cannot be ignored and they can make this an uncomfortable night for the hosts.
- The odds for this game, with Levski at 1.87 ahead of the draw at 3.7 and Kairat at 4.1, don't reflect the fine form of the visitors.
- I'm expecting this to be a cagey contest with the winner taking a giant stride into UEFA qualification in 2026, so I'm going for under 2.5 goals at 1.75 and Both Teams to Score – No at 1.8.
- Levski's Armstrong Oko-Flex is Levski's main finisher in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 with 2 goals in 4 appearances.
