This match has been long awaited by fans of both sides, as it's the first First Division game of the season. Both Arys and Ekibastuz are looking for a positive start to their campaigns.
The hosts Arys saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the First Division. That game was an away game at Kyran, so at least Arys are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
