Sutjeska – Kairat Tip Champions League Qualifying, 1st round second leg on Wednesday, 15.07.2026
While the 2026 World Cup is still on, the ball has long been rolling again in the Champions League. In the second round of the CL qualifiers, FK Sutjeska has to make up for a 2-1 deficit in front of their home crowd against Kairat Almaty.
The Kazakhs won the first leg with exactly this result and thus have the best chances of continuing their journey in the Champions League. In my Sutjeska Kairat tip, however, I don’t assume that the favorite is in for a quiet evening of football.
Rather, an open exchange of blows is likely, in which Sutjeska puts all their eggs in one basket in their own stadium. The classic “Both teams to score” at odds of around 1.55 is therefore the football bet of my choice.
Sutjeska vs. Kairat AI Predictions:
Our AI model is also at the start for the new season and calculates suitable betting alternatives for you. So, it’s worth taking a look at the Sutjeska Kairat AI prediction.
You can’t say that Sutjeska is in a particularly stable phase. In fact, the Montenegrins have lost all of their last five games. It is therefore understandable that the AI opts for the 1×2 bet “Win Kairat” (odds at approx. 1.70).
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Sutjeska |

Victory Kairat |
| 21% |

56% |
Since Sutjeska has to be offensive, the AI – just like me – assumes a rather high-scoring confrontation. So you should hardly go wrong with “over 2.5 goals” at odds around 1.60.
In view of the starting position, the special bet “More goals in the 2nd half” also makes sense. By the way, it was 0-0 at half-time in the first leg. So all three goals were scored after the break. The odds of around 1.90 are therefore quite generous.
