Venue: Stadion im. K. Munaytpasova

This match features two teams living in the basement of the First Division, Maqtaaral holding 11th place and Ekibastuz lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Ekibastuz have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
