International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Astana and Brøndby are looking forward to this Atlantic Cup fight to decide who advances from the Regular Season.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Brøndby have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-2-0 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.
It's quite the trip for Brøndby when visiting Astana as the cities are 4900 kilometers apart.
