Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

No call on Atalanta against FC Kairat Almaty. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Atalanta will dominate a porous Kairat side despite missing nine senior players. Although opponents crafted better openings in six of their last ten matches, the hosts are improving, creating superior chances over their last four games. Kairat are struggling to protect their goalkeeper. They have conceded at least six shots on frame in three of their last five outings. Atalanta lack a huge portion of their usual scoring output with their main striker sidelined by a thigh injury, which forces a change in how they attack. However, they remain a different side at home. Nikola Krstović is the one to watch. His seven goals this season will be the deciding factor.
