- Levski have won 3 of their last 4 home games, conceding just twice.
- Kairat have won 4 of their last 5 away matches, conceding only 5 goals.
Two in form sides match up
PFC Levski Sofia have the form to take Kairat Almaty out on Tuesday, but the hosts have the quality and current run of form to suggest the contest won't be a walkover for the Bulgarians. Levski are unbeaten in 5 (W4, D1) and have won 5, drawn 4 and lost just 1 of their last 10 in all competitions, so they arrive with real momentum.
Their latest 3 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.
Kairat meanwhile are flying even higher with 9 wins and just 1 loss in their last 10. Their most recent results are a 2-1 home win over Ordabasy Shymkent in Premier League 2026 and a 2-0 win at home to Omonia FC Nicosia in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026.
Levski look the most likely winner
Levski are the favorites at 1.87 with the draw next at 3.7 and Kairat third at 4.1, which doesn't quite stack up considering the respective form of the teams and the fact that a place in a big UEFA qualification stage is at stake.
Julio Velazquez has turned Levski into a possession team which plays with structure and can vary their shapes to control games. Kairat meanwhile, have a more vertical edge, with wide players, fast transitions and aggressive triggers to their pressing.
Armstrong Oko-Flex has been Levski's finisher in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 so far, scoring 2 goals, while Everton Bala has been their creative spark with 4 assists in the last 5 as the attack has fired in 11 goals. Edmilson Filho has been Kairat's hottest threat in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 so far with 1 goal in 4 appearances.
Levski have enough quality and structure to nick this and we think they will, but Kairat's current run of 4 wins from their last 5 keeps this from feeling like a certainty. Under 2.5 goals at 1.75 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.8 look the best angles on what is likely to be a chess match between Levski's patient control and Kairat's quicker counters.
