FK Sutjeska Nikšić vs Kairat Almaty

This second leg carries real stakes: Kairat Almaty hold a 2-1 aggregate lead from the first leg in Almaty, and the winner advances to face Omonia. For Sutjeska, it's a must-win just to keep their European run alive. Kairat arrive unbeaten in five, scoring freely with new striker Marc Gual and Lucas Áfrico on target in the first leg, backed by Jorginho and Edmilson. They're missing teenage talent Dastan Satpaev, sold to Chelsea, but their attacking options still look sharp. Sutjeska are undercooked by comparison, having lost all three pre-season friendlies and their last two competitive games. Captain Vlado Giljen makes his 28th European appearance in goal, while top scorer Vasilije Cavor and first-leg scorer Marko Mrvaljevic need big performances to flip the tie. Home advantage might make it tight, but Kairat's sharper form should be enough to close it out. Our prediction: 1-2
