Astana vs TSC Prediction and Betting Tips | October 3rd 2024 

FC Astana and TSC will trade tackles in a UEFA Conference League clash on Thursday (October 3rd). The hosts will be hoping to bounce back from the 1-1 draw they played out away to Zhenis in the Kazakhstani Premier League over the weekend.

They took the lead through Chinedu Geoffrey's 52nd-minute penalty while Adilio drew the game level on the hour-mark.

TSC, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 2-1 away win over Cukaricki in the Serbian Super Liga. Aleksandar Cirkovic and Ifet Djakovac scored either side of Mihajlo Cvetkovic to help their side leave with all three points.

The Backa Topola outfit will shift focus to the continent and secured their spot at this stage following their elimination from the UEFA Europa League by Maccabi Tel Aviv. Astana eliminated Brann with a 3-2 aggregate victory in the playoff to get here.

Astana vs TSC Prediction

Astana are making a return to the Conference League for the second consecutive season. The Yellow and Blue suffered a group stage ouster last term but will be hoping for an improved showing this time around. Grigori Babayan's side will be counting on their home form and this strength has come to the fore this season as they won all three qualification games, scoring 10 goals and conceding just one.

The most recent of those saw them overturn a two-goal first leg deficit against Brann and this does not bode well for TSC. The Serbians have been something of whooping boys on the continent and have conceded at least three goals in nine of their last 11 European games.

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Astana 2-1 TSC
