Red Star Belgrade is set to a play against Kairat Almaty in a second leg of the UEFA Champion league qualifiers fixture. This match is scheduled for 21:30 of 28th July 27, 2021, at the Rajko Mitic Stadium in Serbia.
Kairat Almaty are fresh from a 2-1 win at home against Red Star Belgrade last week but it is the Serbian side that remain the favorites to progress into the next round. However, with wins in each of their last three games against Kairat, we expect this 2nd leg to be very close and competitive.
Red Star Belgrade comes into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Mladost Lucani in the Serbian SuperLiga. A single goal from Montenegro international Mirko Ivanic was enough to secure the win for Dejan Stankovic’s side.
On the other hand, Kirill Keker’s men lost 1-0 to Arys in the group stage of the Kazakh Cup. A second-half goal from striker Stanley Chisom Nkobie sealed the deal for Arys. Hence, they have the need to win in this match.
Red Star Belgrade won the Serbian SuperLiga last season and they will be hoping to play in a European competition this season. The addition of experienced Austrian centre-back Aleksandar Dragovic from Bayer Leverkusen could prove to be important.
Kairat Almaty, on the other hand, has former CSKA Moscow and AS Monaco striker and Brazil international Vagner Love in their squad. Guinea international Jose Kante has been in good form since joining the club and he will be important for his side.
