In the heat of the local league, Peru Kairat club, which has already passed one qualifying round for the Champions League, does not seem significantly weaker even away from home. Like Kairat, Omonia is a better team in their own league and has experience in European tournaments, but realistically, in every aspect, the Kazakhstan team looks better or more superior at the moment, especially since Omonia club is just beginning their season while Kairat is playing solidly and productively with 6 consecutive games with 2 scored goals.
Another meeting between David and Goliath, but this time in the qualifying round of the conference league. The much larger and stronger Braga club will test its strength against the weakest representative of Serbia in Europe this season. Braga is a very solid club with great experience in Europe, and well-known and formidable footballers who have ensured Serbia's celebrations. This is the first time for the Serbian club in Europe, so it is difficult to expect good results from them, especially against such a strong opponent. Braga's team has shown excellent attacking skills in friendly matches and consistently scores goals, so not only a victory for Peru, but also a goals handicap, seems very likely in this match.
The Galen club is valued at even 35 million, but it is still ten times smaller budget than Benfica club. One of the biggest Portuguese teams, Benfica is an excellent club with high ambitions, as shown by the signing of Fulham coach and having highly skilled football players, desired by the biggest European clubs. In friendly matches, the Swiss vice-champions faced opponents of varying ability, but the last ones were quite strong, but still overpowered the Swiss team. Benfica may not have played many friendlies, but the strength and power of this team is significantly greater, which I believe will be reflected in the result.
The Serbian club Vojvodina has already been eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers, losing both matches against Ferencvaros, and now they face an even stronger, more capable and well-known Ajax club in the Europa League. Two years ago, these clubs met in the Europa League qualifiers and Ajax clearly showed their superiority, winning both matches. I hope for the same outcome in this qualifier. The Ajax team is very young, with an average age of 24.7 years, while Vojvodina is even younger with an average age of 23.8 years. This gives Ajax the advantage because their youth is significantly better, and they also have more experience, as they have consistently played in the group stages and knockout rounds of the Europa League.
