Kyzyl-Zhar will face APOEL in the second leg of the 3rd qualifying round of the Conference League. How will the game end? Our portal gives a forecast for the meeting.
"Kyzyl-Zhar"
The Kazakh club in the previous round of the Conference League passed the Croatian "Osijek". The first match in Kazakhstan ended with the victory of the guests with a score of 2:1, while "Kyzyl-Zhar" finished the meeting with ten. The only ball in the goal of "Osijek" was the result of confusion involving the defender and the goalkeeper. As a result — an autogall. A week later, Kyzyl-Zhar beat the opponent on the road with a score of 2:0 and advanced to the next round of the tournament. The team lost the first match in Cyprus, and a few days later lost in the Kazakhstan Cup. "Kaspiy" beat the opponent on the road with a score of 3:1.
APOEL
The club from Cyprus, like Kyzyl-Zhar, played three matches in the Conference League qualification. What immediately catches the eye is that APOEL has not yet conceded a single goal. In the 2nd qualifying round, the Cypriot club coped with the Bulgarian "Botev". The first match ended in a goalless draw, and APOEL beat the opponent at home with a score of 2:0. The Cyprus Championship starts only at the end of August, and at the end of last season, Sofronis Augusti's team took third place.
