First Division match prediction and game guide for the Ekibastuz vs Bulat scrap

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

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 (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-4-21 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.

Ekibastuz are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Bulat are struggling to avoid relegation.

Ekibastuz form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here as Ekibastuz have scored 18 goals to get 17 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the First Division are 5-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Ekibastuz bring valid hopes of a third.

Ekibastuz's previous game was a First Division match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus Igilik (placed 9th). The home side are looking to build on that result. As mentioned above, Ekibastuz "killed" Igilik in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Akademiya Ontustik and winning 2-1.

There will be little rest for Ekibastuz after this match as they are travelling to Kyzyl-Zhar II for a First Division game in only four days.

The Ekibastuz manager V. Sparyshev has got the team scoring with 18 from 8 home games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Ekibastuz have conceded 11 goals.

Bulat form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bulat so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-8 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Bulat's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Bulat had fun at their own home last time out, beating Akademiya Ontustik 3-0.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Taraz Karatau wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Igilik in just four days.

Bulat have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 10 goals have been scored. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Bulat concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

The newest recorded meeting involving both these squads is the Bulat - Ekibastuz 1-2 played earlier this season. Ekibastuz-Bulat H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Ekibastuz six wins, Bulat four wins, zero draws. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
