Both of these clubs are still waiting for their first win in this league phase. This Champions League game sees bottom-of-the-table Kairat host Pafos who are 32nd after their first couple of games. Here's our match prediction.
It was always going to be tough for these two clubs and the first two games have illustrated that. Kairat are still waiting to earn their first point but are only two points adrift of the play-off positions. After two defeats, they will see this home game as a good chance to get some points.
Pafos at least have one point and will also have this down on their list as a fixture in which they can earn some points. Their next two games in this league phase are both at home so they could yet progress as the clubs plays at this stage of the Champions League for the first time in their history.

Kairat Almaty - Pafos FC: Form Analysis
Kairat had to win four qualifying ties to reach this stage of the Champions League. A tense penalty shoot out was needed to get past Celtic in the play-off round and make it into the league phase for the first time. They kept a clean sheet in all four home fixtures.
Tough start for Kairat.
They've found life pretty tough in their first couple of games. 'The Team of the Nation' lost 4-1 at Sporting and followed that up with a 5-0 home thrashing by Real Madrid. Those two defeats have left them bottom of the table, one of four teams yet to earn a point.
Pafos are playing in only their second European campaign, the other in the 2024-25 season when getting to the last 16 of the Conference League. Like their opponents, this is their first time in this stage of the Champions League.
The Cypriots made their way through three qualifying rounds. In the league phase so far, they drew 0-0 at Olympiakos in their opening game but were no match against Bayern Munich, losing at home 5-1.

Kairat Almaty & Pafos FC Squad Analysis
Kairat have selection problems ahead of this Champions League game agaInst Pafos. They have conceded nine goals in their first two games in this league phase and their goalie Alexandr Alexandr Zarutsky is doubtful for this game.
If he doesn't play, then it'll be Termirian Anarbekov will replace him. He's also only just back from injury.
Satpae is in form for Kairat.
They will be hoping for some goals from Dastan Satpae who is in top form at present with four goals in as many games. With both their opening games having been lost, Kairat need to get something from this game.
Pedrao is out for Pafos due to a cruciate ligament injury. Anderson Silva is expected to be up front for the visitors. After earning a point at Olympiakos, they will be hopeful of at least coming home from Kazakhstan with a point.
