National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Arys or Zhetysu that keep their silverware dream alive.
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.
Arys form and stats
Last season their Kazakhstan Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Arys's struggle is real here with only 9 points collected from 9 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-6-2.
The Arys crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Aktobe here.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Arys have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 1 time, drawn 2 and lost 1.
Arys aren't scoring a lot here in the league, with only 5 goals from 9 games. From these home matches, Arys have conceded only 6 goals.
