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.
