FC Astana – Sutjeska Prediction & Picks (11.07.2018)

In order to start on the right foot their participation in the qualifying phase of the UEFA Champions League, the Kazakhstani champion FC Astana is waiting for the visit of a modest Suttegka Montegro, in game corresponding to the game of the First Stage, to be played at the Astana Arena.

FC Astana:

The Kazakhstani cast has had very bad luck in its last two editions of the UEFA Champions League, so in the 2016/17 edition it ran into the third round with Scotland’s Celtic who left it out with a 3-2 aggregate score. , whereas in the last edition Celtic eliminated it again but this time in the playoff round and he did it with a score of 8-4, so he hopes that the story will not happen again.

The ones led by Grigoriy Babayan arrive with all their spirits at the top and that is that the last weekend, despite a goalless draw in their visit to Tobol, with this result added a streak of six games without losing in the Kazakh Premier League, where five of them were triumphs and in this way they are leaders with 47 points and a six-point advantage over Kairat.

That is not all for the current champion of Kazakhstan, who has only lost two of the nineteen games played in the Kazakh Premier League and at home are strong after winning eight of their nine matches and tying the other.

Sutjeska:

For its part, the current champion of the First League of Montenegro comes to this commitment with many doubts, and is that those led by Nikola Rakojevi apparently have not had much preparatory activity and his last official game was in May 2018 when they beat by 2-3 to Buducnost in what was the last game of the season in Montenegro football that allowed him to polish a title that won him with a difference of 22 points just over Buducnost.

Now to this lack of rhythm of competition is added the little experience that Sutjeska has in this type of events, since he has only been present in two previous editions of the UEFA Champions League and in both he did not win the first game of the series, with which has only played four games where three of them were defeats while the remaining was tied, scoring just one goal receiving eleven goals.

So in your visit to Astana, expect to keep the arc at zero or failing to be defeated with a bulky marker to get a chance to the game back.
