Atlante — Qart: preview
We have the forecasts for the encounter between Atlante and Qart in the third round of the common phase of the Conference League 2026/27 season.
Atlante’s problems in search of an important win. Qart is not under pressure, and the interim coach of the duplicate has the opportunity to prove his worth.
Key points
Atlante
1. Atlante does not win more than two consecutive matches
Although the October period began with two consecutive victories ― here Atlante also beat Pafos in the first round of the LC (3:1). However, it then lost to Aykus and in general suffered three defeats in two weeks. Among the very disastrous games there were draws against Frosinone (4:4) and Fiorentina (2:2).
We just saw the biggest collapse of the season ― 0:3 in the home match against Parma from the relegation zone. With only 11 points in ten Serie A rounds, Atlante sits 13th in the table. The position is even worse than last year with Ivan Yurch. The Croat was then dismissed in mid‑November ― Mauricio Sarri is in charge, but names of possible replacements already appear in the press.
2. Atlante continues to suffer many losses
On Monday ten players were no longer available ― the last ones to enter the dressing room were defender Thomas Christensen and midfielder Gianluca Gaetano.
There will be little time between matches, so changes will be minimal. It is expected that Gianluca Scammacca will return to the circle, and it still does not seem that the striker will start. In addition to him, defender Sead Kolashinovic may be in the squad.
3. Atlante is vulnerable in defense
Since the start of the season only three matches were recorded without a loss, and all were in August. Atlante cannot keep a clean sheet in ten games. In most cases, it conceded at least two goals. If we take the last five games, on average they conceded 2.8 balls in 90 minutes.
Previously, Atlante did not make so many mistakes in its stadium. Usually, when it failed, it was no more than one goal. In the last two matches, the support of the stands did not help, the team received seven balls from Frosinone and Parma.
Qart
1. Qart is without a coach and internal trophies
The year 2026 is very tough. Qart fought tirelessly for a third consecutive championship, but this time it ceded the gold to Orda Bassa. The title chances were lost only one round before the end. After that, Rafael Urazbakhtin resigned without waiting for the end of the season.
The interim caretaker is Jora Arutyunyan, who worked with Qart’s youth. His debut with the senior team ended in a draw with Alta in the last round of the CPL. While the board looks for a new coach, it is rumored that Arutyunyan will be in charge until the end of the common phase of the Conference League. The first two rounds were not good ― after the away draw with Riga Qart fell 1:5 at Panatynikos’ ground. According to the confidence in the little experienced specialist, the club has already resigned to the low chances of reaching the playoffs.
2. Martynovich returns to the team
The match against Altay was a formality, so Arutyunyan allowed the second goalkeeper, 19‑year‑old Sherhan Kalmyrz, in the starting lineup. In addition to Temirlan Anarbekov, the starters were striker Edmílson and winger Oiva Yukola ― the trio will probably start from the first minute.
The central defender must return, Alexander Martynovich ― Belarusian, considered the best defender of the year in the Kazakhstan league, did not play in the last match due to disqualification.
3. Qart rarely leaves the field without scoring
In the last 11 matches this happened exactly once ― in the September league game against Astana (0:1). The series of results continues in six matches. However, the data in European competitions are modest. In summer Qart was only effective in the first round of the Champions League qualification phase. From the second phase, it scored a ball in six matches ― and after the only goal of Omnia it remained silent for more than 440 minutes. In the Conference League Qart stood out in both matches, but only scored a ball in each ― and with Panatynikos it found its moment only with the score 0:5.
Approximate formations 4-2-3-1 4-3-2-1 3-2-1-3 2-3-3-2 9-2-1-3 2-2-2-1 1-1-2-1 1-1-1-1 1-1-1-1 1-1-1-1
Betting forecasts
Atlante does not win more than two goals in 22 consecutive matches. Qart did not lose by a three‑goal margin in six of the last seven games. F2 (+2.5) at 1.63.
In five of the last seven encounters of Atlante, and also in four of five games of Qart, both teams scored. OZ ― yes at 2.02.
Prediction
Atlante vs Qart 05.11.2026 21:45
Atlante has many problems: in Serie A it only has 11 points in ten rounds, the team almost never wins and is 13th in the table ― even below Yurch’s era last year. Recently the bergamasks achieved a great win at home against the grey Parma (0:3). With the Conference League without victories, the losing streak reached five matches. There are many questions about Mauricio Sarri, but he has not been dismissed yet ― although candidates for his replacement already appear in the press.
However, Qart seems a suitable rival to at least interrupt the dark streak. The team could not defend the title in the Kazakhstan league and was left without a main coach. Now the yellow‑black team is temporarily led by Jora Arutyunyan, who previously worked with the youth ― they say he will keep the position until the end of the common phase of the Conference League. It seems that due to the weak start, Qart no longer has much faith in the playoffs ― after traveling to Italy the chances will surely be even lower.
Prediction: 3-1
