Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Arys & Zhetysu face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Kazakhstan Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Arys and Zhetysu should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Arys form and stats
Arys participated in Kazakhstan Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Arys have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here. The home stadium is supposed to be a fortress, but for Arys it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
The fans are hoping that Arys will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Kazakhstan Cup game against Kaspiy. Arys were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Ahead of that match, Arys lost 2-4 at home to Tobol.Arys have scored 9 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Arys defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
