Slovan Bratislava vs Kairat Prediction and Betting Tips | August 12th 2025

Slovan Bratislava will host Kairat at the Národný futbalový Stadión on Tuesday in the second leg of their 2025-26 third-round UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign. The hosts will be hoping to get a win and turn around the tie after losing the first leg.

Slovan struggled to get a hold of the game when they traveled to Kazakhstan last week before going down to 10 men in the 65th minute and conceding a clear penalty in the 90th minute. The Slovakian giants, who were on a four-game unbeaten run before Wednesday's loss, will, however, remain optimistic to overturn the one-goal deficit and progress to the final playoff round.

Kairat have been one of the dark horses of this UCL qualification rounds having knocked out Slovenian side Olimpija and Finnish outfit KuPS before securing their narrow advantage over Sunday's hosts. The visitors will now look to complete the job in the second leg and advance to the next round where they will face Scottish Champions Celtic.
