The first round saw the Swiss team of Lausanne triumph at home from Astana 3-1 at the tiliere stadium despite a fairly balanced meeting 51% ball possession and 13 shots against 15 for Astana. The Kazakhstan club therefore has a handicap of two goals to go back to Astana Arena if he wants to reach the final of these qualifications and offer himself the right to play a league phase campaign of this Europa Conference League. Since May 14, FC Astana has only conceded 2 defeats in Ordabasy 1-0 in the league and in Lausanne 3-1. Before this failure in Lausanne, FC Astana had recorded 1 success in the championship against Turan 7-0 and 1 qualification for C3 against Zimbru 1-1 and 0-2.Lausanne has lost her last 2 championship games in Thun 2-1 and against Zurich 1-2 this Sunday and points to 8th out of 12 in the standings.

With 4 defeats during its last 7 outings, the Swiss club is not on a very good dynamic. Worse still, Lausanne has not won outside since March 15 and a success in St. Gall 0-2 and is on a long series in progress of 7 trips without victory 3 draws and 4 defeats. Diakite's partners have lost their last 2 trips to Vardar 2-1 on the European scene and Thun 2-1 in early August.

Tactically, Astana will likely rely on their structured midfield and set-piece prowess, while Lausanne’s fluid 4-1-2-1-2 formation emphasizes quick transitions and wide play. Expect Astana to press early and capitalize on defensive lapses, while Lausanne will look to exploit space behind the Kazakh backline. Both teams have shown vulnerability in defense—Astana conceding late goals and Lausanne averaging nearly three goals against per match in recent outings—making a high-stakes, goal-laden encounter likely.

Given the form, squad depth, and home advantage, a 2–1 scoreline in favor of FC Astana feels plausible. Lausanne’s attacking threat ensures they won’t go quietly, but Astana’s experience and tactical discipline should see them edge this one. It’s a matchup of grit versus flair, and while Lausanne may dazzle in moments, Astana’s consistency should carry them through.
