Kairat Almaty boasts a highly efficient defensive structure, conceding just 0.67 goals per game in their domestic league and keeping clean sheets in 50% of those matches. Offensively, they average 1.89 goals per match, showing clinical finishing in their recent games. Sutjeska struggled to establish offensive pressure in the first leg, only managing to score late in the 85th minute, and they will find it incredibly difficult to break down Kairat's organized low block now that the visitors have a lead to protect.

Given the tactical setup, Kairat Almaty is expected to control the tempo of the game. Since Sutjeska must chase the tie, they will eventually have to leave spaces behind their defensive line, which Kairat's quick transition play is perfectly suited to exploit. The class and fitness gap between the two leagues should become highly apparent in the second half.
