The most high-profile success was the final stage, where they managed to knock out Celtic. Both matches with the Scots ended in a 0-0 draw, the outcome of the confrontation was decided in a penalty shootout.

6.40Tip and bets
Reaching the main stage of the Champions League is a huge success for Kairat. However, it is hardly worth waiting for serious feats, nevertheless, the composition does not allow you to constantly achieve positive results at a distance at this level. Plus, two goalkeepers are injured, and 18-year-old Kalmurza will take his place in goal today. It's far from certain that the young goalkeeper will cope with his duties. So far, Sporting has lost only to its main rivals, Benfica and Porto, and it is unlikely that the Borges team will have any difficulties with the debutant at home.
Our betting tip is for Sporting to win with an Asian handicap (-2.5) by a factor of 1.82
Bet on the total
Given Kairat's goaltending problems and Sporting's powerful attack, it makes sense to bet on a total of more goals scored. The hosts in the class can single-handedly score four goals against the opponent.
The second bet is a total of more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.87
Betting on corners
Sporting will obviously spend a lot of time at other people's gates, so there is no way to do without a lot of corners. According to statistics, in six of the last eight matches, the Portuguese have won by the number of corners. We think they will gain the upper hand today by a decent margin.
Prediction – Sporting wins on corners with a handicap (-4.5) with a coefficient of 1.89
