Copenhagen vs Kairat Almaty Prediction and Betting Tips

Copenhagen will host Kairat Almaty at Parken on Wednesday in the fifth round of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League league phase. The home side have struggled for results over the last two months and will need to step things up significantly if they are to secure a spot in the qualification playoffs as they sit 33rd in the table with one point.

Following a 2-2 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in their Champions League opener back in September, Copenhagen have since embarked on a three-game losing streak in the competition. They were beaten 4-0 by 10-man Tottenham Hotspur in their most recent continental outing and were somewhat fortunate not to have suffered an even heavier defeat.

Kairat Almaty have not fared any better than their midweek opponents on the continental stage this term. They suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Inter last time out with Ofri Arad's second-half strike sandwiched between goals from their Italian opponents.

The visitors concluded their domestic campaign last month, securing the Kazakhstan Premier League title for the second consecutive season. Their focus will now shift entirely to continental action over the next couple of weeks.

Copenhagen vs Kairat Almaty Prediction

Byens Hold's latest result ended a run of back-to-back defeats and they will now be looking to build on that this week. They have lost just one of their last 10 games at Parken and will fancy their chances of a positive result on Wednesday.

Halyq Komandasy are winless in their last three games after winning three of their previous four. They are massive underdogs heading into the midweek clash and will need something special to avoid defeat here.
