Aktobe is a football club from Kazakhstan, in fact they are the champion (obviously if they are in the qualifications). The team has qualified 3 times already for Champions League, but was able to get only once through the first team they had to eliminate. This happened last year.
In Season 2006/7 they lost to FK Liepājas Metalurgs 0-1 at home, and tied 1-1 away.

In Season 2009/10 they managed to destroy Hafnarfjördur FC away with 0:4 and beat them at home with 2:0 thus qualify for the next round where they met Maccabi Haifa FC. After a 0:0 at home, Aktobe lost 4:3 in a spectacular game in Israel and moved to Europa League.
Unfortunately at the play-offs they met Werder Bremen but lost both games with 3:6 away and 0:2 at home.
FC Olimpi Rustavi is a team from Georgia, and it’s the current champion. This is their third time playing in European tournaments.

However their next opponent Legia Warszawa didn’t give them a chance, beating them with 3:0 and 1:0.

The Betting Verdict?
Backing Aktobe to win @ 1.82 (Betfair.com): The team is determined to qualify ahead this year as well. They will be determined and mobilized, since Olimpi Rustavi isn’t really that classy team. To stand a chance to qualify they have to win tonight on home turf and wait for the return match.
