Celtic vs Kairat Almaty Prediction (20.08.2025)

Celtic is chasing a fourth consecutive appearance in the group stage of the Champions League, where they were eliminated in the round of 16 last season. They started the new season with two wins in the league, and now hope for a home victory in Europe. Throughout last season in all competitions at home, Celtic only lost to Bayern Munich and Rangers.

Kazakhstani Kairat dreams of reaching the group stage, after already eliminating three teams in the qualifiers and reaching the playoff stage for the first time. Undoubtedly they were below the level of Celtic, but still managed to eliminate Slovan Bratislava, who played in the groups last season. The other two teams were Slovenian Olimpija and Finnish KuPS. Kairat, however, eliminated them mainly due to their home victories against them, while they lost 0:2 to KuPS and 0:1 to Slovan as guests, and drew 1:1 against Olimpija in Ljubljana.

Celtic will win this match. However, I think the victory may not be by more than two goals. Kairat struggles in their away games, but I believe they can again avoid losing by a large margin as guests.
