Two Champions League newcomers face off on Tuesday evening, as Pafos of Cyprus travel to Kazakhstan to take on Kairat Almaty.
Almaty have suffered two hefty defeats so far in the competition, losing 5-0 at home to Real Madrid and 4-1 at Sporting Lisbon. However, Almaty's domestic form has been significantly better, and they are currently on a five match winning run in the Kazakh Premier League.
Pafos have enjoyed a slightly better start to their inaugural Champions League campaign, thanks to a hard fought point at Olympiakos in their opening game. Unfortunately, they were then given a huge reality check, as German giants Bayern Munich thrashed them 1-5 on Matchday Two.
Given the lack of experience that Almaty and Pafos have at this level, plus the daunting nature of their upcoming fixtures, Tuesday night's game looks like it will be both sides' best opportunity to grab a win in the competition.

Our Kairat Almaty vs Pafos FC Prediction
This isn't the most glamorous Champions League fixture of the week, but it does offer some solid betting value.
Both Almaty and Pafos have been involved in some high scoring encounters over the last few weeks, and we are predicting more of the same on Tuesday.
Almaty's backline has looked well short of the standard required to compete in the Champions League, and we would not be surprised to see them lose all eight of their fixtures in the competition.
Pafos are a slightly stronger outfit, but as the defeat to Bayern showed, they are still extremely vulnerable in defence, so our prediction for Kairat Almaty vs Pafos is: Over 3.5 goals.
