The Astana Arena is the venue for an early kick-off in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday as Kairat Almaty hosts Olympiacos in Kazakhstan.
The hosts come into this fixture having successfully retained their Kazakh title, but still find themselves searching for a first-ever UCL league phase victory. Olympiacos return to European business after a strong run of domestic form which has seen them pick up victories in five successive Super League fixtures.
Now set for their first-ever encounter, the Greeks come into Tuesday's contest as odds-on favourites to pick up their first away win of the UCL campaign.
Kairat Almaty team overview
Kairat Almaty return to UCL action two weeks on from a hard-fought 3:2 defeat against FC Copenhagen. Having trailed 3:0, the Kazakhs restored pride with late goals from Dastan Satpaev and Olzhas Baibek.
Competing in the Champions League, league phase for the first time in their history, Kairat have performed well, but struggled to put points on the board. The Kazakh slipped to narrow away defeats in both of their last two away UCL games against the aforementioned Copenhagen (3:2) and at the San Siro against Inter (2:1).
At home, Rafael Urazbakhtin's side did suffer a painful 5:0 beatdown against Real Madrid before securing a goalless draw against fellow debutants Pafos in their most recent UCL matchup at Astana Arena.
Kairat boss Urazbakhtin has two players unavailable for Tuesday's Champions League match. Brazilian forwards Élder Santana and João Paulo remain long-term absentees.

Olympiacos team overview
Olympiacos make the trip to Kazakhstan with plenty of confidence after a comfortable 3:0 win against OFI Crete last weekend. In-form Moroccan forward Ayoub El Kaabi bagged twice in a routine victory for the Red-Whites.
Jose Luis Mendilibar's men have enjoyed a strong run of performances in recent weeks, picking up five victories in their last six matches. Their only blip in that sequence of victories was a dramatic 4:3 home defeat against Real Madrid in their previous UCL runout.
Olympiacos are frequently involved in high-scoring outcomes, with over 2.5 goals scored in all but two of their last nine games. Both of their last two UCL games also finished with a whopping seven goals scored.
Head coach Mendilibar has two confirmed absentees for the trip to Kazakhstan. Konstantinos Angelakis and Alexandros Paschalakis remain sidelined.

Prediction
Olympiacos are in good form, and considering their greater pedigree at this level, should have enough quality to return from Kazakhstan with three points in the bag.
An away win is my top tip for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League contest.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Olympiacos to Win
- Olympiacos won 5 of their last 6 matches
- Kairat Almaty lost 4 of their last 5 matches (Champions League)
- Kairat Almtaty failed to win their last 4 matches (all competitions)
