An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 9th place.
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.
It's quite the trip for Taraz when visiting Aktobe as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.
Aktobe form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Aktobe, who have the most conceded goals (43) in Premier League, have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses from their games here.
In their previous game, the manager A. Sednev led his Aktobe to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Ordabasy. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Ahead of that match, Aktobe won a home game hosting Atyrau (3-2).
This is expected to be a close game, with Aktobe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aktobe as a small favourite), we find four games. Aktobe has won 1 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.
Aktobe has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Aktobe with 23 goals conceded in these matches.
Taraz form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Taraz, who have the most conceded goals (24) away in Premier League, so far with only 5 Premier League points returning home. The records show 1-2-8 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Taraz, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.
Taraz's last game was the home draw against Atyrau (2-2). A 0-1 defeat away at Irtysh before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Taraz playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 1 Taraz win, 1 draw and 0 defeats.
The attacking power of Taraz when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Taraz have conceded 24 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
