Celtic have a crucial match in today's second leg. They drew 0-0 at home against Almaty in the first leg and will play away today.
Almaty is in danger of eliminating Celtic. While Celtic are the favorites, Almaty has the quality to win the match.
Bodo will head to Graz with a 5-0 lead in the first leg and will qualify for the Champions League even if they lose. (As long as they don't lose by a margin of six, Bodo will advance.)
Pafos defeated Red Star away in the first leg. Red Star looks the favorite again today, but I think Pafos will win again.
Pafos will be the surprise team this year.
If Kairat Almaty wins against Celtic and advances to the Champions League, it would be the biggest surprise of recent years. As far as I remember, the last team I was surprised like this was Sheriff's. They also beat Real Madrid. Surprises like this are truly exciting in football. So, realistically, I think Kairat qualifying is only possible because the Scottish team has a much stronger team.
