Astana vs Partizani Prediction: Betting on the home team

Astana dropped out of the Europa League, losing to Ludogorets, and will now try to reach the group stage of the Conference League. The opponent of Astana in the decisive round of qualification is Partizani. Let's choose a few bets on the first game.

Astana

The club from the capital of Kazakhstan began the European Cup campaign in the Champions League. There, Astana passed Dinamo Tbilisi but could not withstand the resistance of Dinamo Zagreb. In the European League team, Grigory Babayan also got a very difficult opponent - multiple champions of Bulgaria Ludogorets. In the first game at home, Astana won 2:1, but in the return away game, they lost with a score of 1:5.

After traveling to the Bulgarians, Astana held a home match of the championship of Kazakhstan and played a 1:1 draw with Kaisar. After 20 championship rounds, the capital is only third in the standings, although they lost only three matches out of 19.

Partizani

The Albanian team also started its European journey in the Champions League but fell out after the first round - from Belarusian BATE. Further in the Conference League, Partizani won four out of four matches - two against Inter Club Escaldes from Andorra and two matches against Latvian Valmiera.

The team of Croatian specialist Zoran Zekic has not yet started in the national championship. Last season, Partizani won the Albanian championship under another coach.

Expert Betting Tips

Partizani is a strong team, and Astana must not falter on their home field. Otherwise, a trip to Albania could end the prospects of the Kazakh team to get into the group stage of the European Cup. The class of Georgi Babayan's team is higher than Partizani's, so, quite possibly, the most important success will be achieved. BATE beat the Albanians 2:0. We bet on the hosts but don't expect a productive game. Partizani is a very organized team.
