Omonia Nicosia travels to Kazakhstan to face Kairat Almaty in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round on Wednesday, July 30, at 18:00. Omonia enters the match with a 1-0 lead from the first leg in Nicosia, where the team successfully maintained their advantage despite finishing the game with ten players due to a red card. Henning Berg’s side aims to replicate their disciplined performance to secure a spot in the third qualifying round and guarantee a position in the Conference League League Phase.

Kairat Almaty recently secured a 2-1 victory over Ordabasy, moving to the top of the Kazakhstan league standings with 45 points. However, the club faces a significant setback as their 28-year-old Portuguese forward, Jorginho, was substituted in the 8th minute of that match due to an injury and is ruled out for the upcoming European encounter. Omonia is also managing squad fitness, with Odubajo likely sidelined due to missed training sessions. The Cypriot side remains focused on its tactical approach to ensure qualification.
