Prediction: 1-0
Milsami
Astana will look to advance to the Conference League third qualifying round when they welcome Milsami to Almaty Central Stadium on Thursday afternoon. The Kazakhs were on the verge of winning the first leg, but Koy Lupano eventually scored a late equalizer for the Moldovans. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the second leg.
Milsami, on the other hand, showed character in the first leg, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Thursday’s clash. Both Bolohan and Camara are one yellow card away from suspension, but there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team. As Astana are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Moldova with their hands empty. Summer signing Chinedu Geoffrey is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
Highlighted Team (FC Astana):
Astana are a professional football club based in Astana, Kazakhstan. The Blue and Yellows were founded in 2009 and five years later they won their first Kazakhstan Premier League trophy. Astana managed to defend their title in 2015, with the team finishing the season just one point clear of Kairat in the standings.
The Kazakhs participated in the Champions League group stages in the 2015/2016 season, but they failed to record a win in the elite competition. However, it has to be noted that they managed to hold star-studded Atletico Madrid to a goalless draw in front of home fans.

The stadium was opened on 3 July, 2009 and the construction cost $185 million. Astana’s home kits are yellow with blue strips and they play their away games in navy-blue kits. The team recorded their biggest win on 19 June, 2011 when they outclassed Kairat 6-1 in the Kazakhstan Premier League.
