Competition: Kazakhstan First Division
Date: Sun 23.June
Match begins: 10:00 (UTC)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the First Division, Ekibastuz holding 13th place and Bulat lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It's no vacation for neither Ekibastuz nor Bulat 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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Bulat have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-2-16 (win-draw-loss) from 21 matches.

Ekibastuz form and stats

Ekibastuz have played 4 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Ekibastuz's previous game was a First Division match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Bulat. The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Ekibastuz lost 0-1 at Zhetysu II's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ekibastuz have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

The lack of attacking qualities in Ekibastuz means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 home games, less than half a goal per match. On the other hand, Ekibastuz have conceded 5 goals.
