- Astana have the most scored goals in the first half (20) in Premier League
Akzhayik's stadium, Stadion im. Petra Atoyana, has a grass surface. Astana have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Astana when playing on grass; 14 wins, 3 draws and 13 losses from 30 matches. They have scored 47 goals in these games and conceded 43.
Astana have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Akzhayik form and stats
5-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Akzhayik so far this season.
In their previous game, the manager V. Mazyar led his Akzhayik to a defeat in the Kazakhstan Cup match away at Kaisar. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion im. Petra Atoyana.

Akzhayik are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadion im. Petra Atoyana in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 9 matches.
Astana form and stats
Astana's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Astana collect 21 points from their 10 away matches in the Premier League. 6 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
Astana's last game was the home draw against Kaspiy (3-3). Drawing 3-3 against Kaspiy after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager A. Tikhonov needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A loony game with plenty of goals last time out for Astana, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fixture, will this game be as gleeful?
A 1-1 draw at Aktobe's stadium before that.The Astana manager A. Tikhonov has got the team scoring on the road, with 22 away goals in 10 league matches. Astana have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
