Astana get ready to welcome Kaspiy for something different than the ordinary league football: The Kazakhstan Cup Quarter-finals leg 1 of 2.
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.
This football stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Kaspiy's home arena. The previous eight games by the away side on artifical turf have resulted in 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Kaspiy, who are travelling more than 2600 kilometers to play this game.
