It's a new First Division campaign and Altay are eager to get started here at Ortalıq Stadion. Ekibastuz are coming to visit and this should be a thrilling season kickoff.
It's no vacation for neither Altay nor Ekibastuz as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
