No absentees
Atalanta are overwhelming favourites to bounce back on home soil, and our Atalanta vs Kairat predictions and betting tips expect the Italians to overpower one of the Conference League‘s bottom markers at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia on Thursday 5 November (5.45pm, UK time).
The hosts sit 15th with three points after splitting their opening games, beating Pafos 3-1 at home before losing 2-0 away at Ajax. Kairat, by contrast, are 31st on a single point after losing 5-1 at home to Panathinaikos. The top eight go straight into the last 16, and the bottom 12 drop out. Therefore, Atalanta know a big home win would push them up the standings.
Premium Tips
Squawka’s Anthony Eadson sees a routine home win and has picked two Premium Tips to add value to a lopsided tie.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Charles De Ketelaere to score anytime | 13/10 (bet365) | De Ketelaere has been one of Atalanta’s brightest attacking lights. Furthermore, Kairat have conceded six goals in two games, including five at home to Panathinaikos last time out. Atalanta scored three times in their only home outing so far, a 3-1 win over Pafos, and the visitors have not kept a clean sheet all phase. Operating off the front line, De Ketelaere gets into dangerous areas and takes plenty of shots. So, at 13/10 with bet365, he looks a fair price to score against a leaky defence. |
| Azamat Tuyakbayev to be carded | 3/1 (Betfred) | Kairat are likely to spend long spells chasing the ball at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia, and that is often when cards follow. Azamat Tuyakbayev is a combative midfielder whose job is to slow Atalanta down in midfield. Also, that role regularly brings bookings against superior opposition. Kairat have already shipped six goals in two games. As a result, they should face constant pressure, and that often leads to cynical fouls. At 3/1 with Betfred, Tuyakbayev to see yellow holds plenty of appeal in a game Atalanta should dominate. |

How Atalanta go into the game
Atalanta have blown hot and cold in the league phase, taking three points from their first two games. They beat Pafos 3-1 at home in their opener. However, they lost 2-0 away at Ajax last time out.
Home form is the key here. Atalanta have scored three goals and conceded once on their own ground, and against the weakest side in the draw they will expect to cut loose again. The caveat is that they have failed to keep a clean sheet in either game. Even so, few would bet against a comfortable home win.
How Kairat go into the game
Kairat sit 31st and have taken a single point from their opening two matches. They opened with an encouraging 1-1 draw away at Riga. However, they then lost 5-1 at home to Panathinaikos last time out.
The defensive numbers are a worry. Kairat have conceded six goals already and are yet to keep a clean sheet. Moreover, that heavy loss to Panathinaikos showed how easily teams can open them up. They have at least scored in both games. Still, a trip to Italy is arguably their toughest test yet.

Atalanta vs Kairat head-to-head
There is no head-to-head history between Atalanta and Kairat, with the sides never having met in a competitive fixture. The Kazakh side’s run to this stage has been a story in itself. However, a first meeting with Italian opposition of Atalanta’s pedigree is a daunting next step.
Atalanta vs Kairat predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atalanta to win | 1/6 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Atalanta scored three at home against Pafos, while Kairat sit 31st and shipped five at home last time out. |
| Both teams to score – No | 4/5 (BoyleSports) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Kairat have scored only twice in the phase and now run into Atalanta’s organised home defence. |
| Over 2.5 goals | 2/5 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Kairat’s last game produced six goals and Atalanta scored three at home against Pafos. |
| Atalanta 3-0 Kairat | 13/2 (BoyleSports) | ⭐⭐ | A comfortable home win to nil fits Atalanta’s attacking threat and Kairat’s dismal recent defending. |
Atalanta vs Kairat score prediction
This has the makings of a straightforward home win. Atalanta were excellent going forward in their opening home game and come up against a Kairat side shipping goals at an alarming rate. We expect the Italians to take control early, add goals after the break and keep a clean sheet against limited opponents. Score prediction: Atalanta 3-0 Kairat.
