Astana are on a 10-game unbeaten run.
Huge ask for TNS
TNS have made history just by reaching the Conference League league phase and they will be desperate to get some points on the board, but they may struggle against Kazakh opponents Astana on Thursday.
Asatana are on a 10-game unbeaten run, winning eight of those, and have claimed European victories over Norway’s Brann (in qualifying) and Serbia’s TSC this season.
TNS faced a tough trip to Fiorentina in their opener and came out that game with a bit of credit as they only lost 2-0 to the two-time finalists in this competition, but in truth they could have lost by a far greater margin.
The Welsh outfit crushed Llangollen 16-0 in a cup game last time out but Astana are clearly a level above what they are used to facing, and at an odds-against price the visitors look backable here.
Astana have conceded in two of their last three away games and with the home crowd behind them TNS will keep pushing until the end even if they do fall a few goals behind, so a 2-1 win for the visitors has a chance.
