Prediction: 1-2
FC Astana
Complexul Sportiv Raional will host Thursday’s Conference League qualifier between Milsami and Astana, the two teams from former Soviet republics. Milsami set up a meeting with Astana by beating Zhodino in the double-header, but they face a tough challenge in the upcoming double-header. Barring any fresh injury worries, Igor Picusceac is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Zhodino in the second leg.
The Kazakhs, on the other hand, have been producing excellent displays in the League Cup of late, with the team rolling over both Kaspij Aktau (5-0) and Shakhter Karagandy (4-2) and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As Astana are a more experienced side than Milsami, speaking of the participation in European competitions, away win should definitely be considered. A man to watch in the away side will be Chinedu Geoffrey, who scored a hat-trick in the triumph over Shakhter.
