Kairat Almaty vs Levski Sofia: Kairat Almaty to win
Kairat Almaty enter the Champions League tie with a 2.0 xG edge, while Levski Sofia sit at 1.5 xG. The model rates a Kairat win at 49.3% and an over‑2.5 goal result at 67.9%.
Both sides arrive on a mixed run of form – Kairat with a 2‑1‑2 record and Levski unbeaten in five – and the fixture offers a direct clash of scoring rates that could dictate the outcome.
Robbo's Verdict
The model assigns Kairat a 49.3% chance of victory, the top probability among all outcomes, driven by their superior expected goals and tighter defence.
Show the maths
With Kairat Almaty averaging 2.0 expected goals and Levski Sofia averaging 1.5, the model gives a 67.2% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 32.8% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 3.5 (Kairat Almaty 2.0 + Levski Sofia 1.5) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 67.9% chance against 32.1% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Kairat Almaty at 49.3%, the draw at 21.6%, and Levski Sofia at 29.0% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.1% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Kairat Almaty
Kairat’s recent run includes a 2‑1 home win over Sutjeska and a 0‑1 away loss to Levski Sofia. The win shows they can breach defenses, while the narrow loss indicates they can also be held, reinforcing a tight match where a Kairat win remains plausible.
Levski Sofia
Levski’s last five feature a 1‑1 away draw with Borac Banja Luka and a 4‑0 home thrashing of the same side. The draw demonstrates defensive resilience, but the big win highlights their capacity to score, suggesting they will create chances but not dominate the fixture.
Head-to-Head
The most recent head‑to‑head saw Levski win 1‑0, a result that favours a narrow scoreline but does not contradict the model’s higher win probability for Kairat this time.
