Match Time & Date:

18:45
Prediction: 1-0
Astana
Paphos will try to recover from a 1-0 loss to Heidenheim when they face Astana at Apollon Arena on Thursday. The Cypriotes are eyeing their second win of the process as they crushed Petrocub in their opener and their fine form in the national championship must be fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Astana. Juan Carlos Carcedo should have a full squad to choose from for Thursday’s clash.
Astana, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Tobol in their last league match and given their poor display in a 2-0 defeat to Astana, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Paphos. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Cyprus. It has to be noted that the two clubs meet for the first time in the Europa Conference League.
Highlighted Team (Astana):
Astana are a Kazakh football club which was founded in 2009. The Blue and Yellows won their first domestic trophy in 2014, with the team finishing the regular part of the season in third place in the standings. However, thanks to their brilliant displays in the Championship round Astana won the national championship.
The big-spending Kazakh club have always been attracting high-profile footballers from Russia and Ukraine and it has to be noted that the likes of Yegor Titov, Andrey Tikhonov and Maksim Shatshikh played for the Blue and Yellows in the past. Nowadays Astana are considered the best football club in Kazakhstan and you should bear in mind that they won their third consecutive league title in 2016.
However, participating in the 2015/2016 Champions League group stages is considered the club’s biggest success. Astana faced the likes of Benfica, Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray in Group C and they collected 4 points from possible 18 in the process. It has to be noted that they shared the spoils with Diego Simeone’s men at their Astana Arena.
