The UEFA Champions League qualifying play-off round starts up again later today, with three decisive second-leg clashes on the schedule as teams battle for a coveted spot in the league phase.
The action also continues tomorrow night, with four more ties being wrapped up as the qualifying journey for the world’s most prestigious club competition comes to an end.
FC Kairat Almaty vs Celtic
FC Kairat Almaty managed to escape Celtic Park with a 0-0 draw in the first leg of this clash, giving today’s hosts a huge boost as they return to their home ground for the decisive second leg meeting.
While Celtic’s job will be difficult against a home side with the stadium’s support, the Bhoys remain the favourites heading into the clash, and despite failing to score in the first leg, Brendan Rodgers’s men were dominant.
Celtic held 75% possession and took 11 shots in the first leg, and we expect a similar performance in tonight’s away leg, and the Bhoys to qualify.

Pafos vs Crvena Zvezda
Pafos may be entering their home leg with a 2-1 lead intact after a superb away victory in the first meeting, but Crvena Zvezda were certainly the team in control of the first leg and will remain confident of turning the tie in their favour here.
Crvena Zvezda took a massive 26 shots throughout the first 90 minutes of this matchup, and as they will have to be more attacking to get back into the match tonight, we believe the visitors will be on top once again.
With that in mind, we believe Crvena Zvezda’s superior attacking quality will shine through in the second leg and help lead them to the league phase of the Champions League.
Crvena Zvezda to qualify, 2.32 – Book Here

Sturm Graz vs Bodoe/Glimt
Kasper Hogh had a fantastic first campaign for Bodoe/Glimt in 2024/25 as the forward netted 21 times in 43 appearances across all competitions, and the striker has managed to raise his game to another level so far this season.
Hogh has netted 17 times in 21 matches so far this term, including nine in his last nine outings for the Norwegian side, leaving him in remarkable goalscoring form heading into tonight’s second leg.
Bodoe/Glimt already have one foot in the league phase after a dominant 5-0 win in the first leg, and with Sturm Graz needing to come out attacking if they are to have any chance of getting back into the game, the visitors will have plenty of chance to counter attack in this one.
Kasper Hogh to score anytime, 2.60 – Book Here
