Champions League Qualifying Predictions, Betting Tips & Booking Codes (July 29)
The crucial action in the second qualifying round of the Champions League continues on July 29, as teams look for favourable results to reach the third qualifying stage. Find a rundown of the matches on Wednesday, as well as our picks for all six encounters here.
Kairat vs Omonia Nicosia
● Tip: Kairat
● Odds: 2.217 (22Bet)
● 22Bet Booking Code: KSZ7R
All of the pressure in this second leg will be on Kairat following a shock 1-0 away defeat to Omonia Nicosia last week. However, their excellent record so far this season is worth considering, as they have won six of their previous seven. Last week’s defeat was also the first time over the period that they have failed to score.
Having home advantage is crucial to their chances this week. Kairat have avoided defeat in all nine of their clashes at Central Stadium in 2026-27, scoring 2.22 goals per game and keeping clean sheets in 67% of their encounters.
Zalgiris Kaunas vs Kl Klaksvik
● Tip: Zalgiris Kaunas
● Odds: 1.724 (22Bet)
● 22Bet Booking Code: 631UR
There was nothing to separate Zalgiris Kaunas and Kl Klaksvik when the teams collided last week, when a 0-0 draw was played out. However, the hosts will be confident of securing their spot in the third qualifying round back at their home stadium.
Zalgiris have won three of their previous four fixtures, and they have kept clean sheets in three encounters over that period. Their defensive prowess will be crucial against a rival who have failed to score in three of their most recent five fixtures.
Lech Poznan vs AGF Aarhus
● Tip: Lech Poznan
● Odds: 1.711 (22Bet)
● 22Bet Booking Code: 1PAUR
Polish club Lech Poznan will sense that they already have one foot in the next qualifying round following a dominant 4-1 win over AGF in last week’s first leg.
They should complete the job with another routine success this week after a strong start to the campaign, which has seen them avoid defeat in three straight fixtures. Offensively, Lech Poznan have been reliable to this point, scoring seven goals.
CS U Craiova vs Levski Sofia
● Tip: CS U Craiova
● Odds: 1.854 (22Bet)
● 22Bet Booking Code: RYBUR
All of the pressure will be on CS U Craiova this week. They require a victory to keep alive their Champions League dreams following a 1-0 loss against Levski Sofia last week.
They should be capable of getting back into this tie after already showing their attacking prowess this season with five goals scored in their three encounters. Meanwhile, they are consistent in home matches, avoiding defeat in 90% of their clashes in 2025-26.
Red Star Belgrade vs Larne
● Tip: Red Star Belgrade
● Odds: 1.06 (22Bet)
● 22Bet Booking Code: ZC2UR
Red Star Belgrade showcased their quality at both ends of the field in last week’s 4-0 first-leg win against Larne.
Their dominant start to the new season makes them almost impossible to overlook this week, as they have scored at least three goals in all three of their victories in 2026-27. Contrastingly, Larne have failed to score more than once in three of their previous four.
Górnik Zabrze vs Fenerbahce
● Tip: Fenerbahce
● Odds: 1.472 (22Bet))
● 22Bet Booking Code: 5DDUR
Turkish heavyweights Fenerbahce will have their sights set on a return to the Champions League group stage for the first time in over ten years.
They were professional in claiming a 1-0 win at home last week. Their counterattacking prowess, with quality stars like Talisca and Mason Greenwood, should ensure they complete the job against Polish club Górnik Zabrze on Wednesday.
Slovan Bratislava vs Iberia 1999
● Tip: Slovan Bratislava
● Odds: 1.341 (22Bet)
● 22Bet Booking Code: C9DUR
Slovan Bratislava will be challenging to overlook in the betting as they bid to secure back-to-back victories against Iberia 1999.
They were professional in recording a 2-0 win on the road last week, and they have now recorded two straight competitive wins without conceding a goal in 2026-27. A third straight win to nil looks like a logical outcome in this second leg on Wednesday.
