The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Astana find themselves in 2nd position and Atyrau are placed 8th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Astana and Atyrau. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game! This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Atyrau's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Atyrau have performed like this: three matches played resulting in 0 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 1-5 (scored/conceded). Atyrau have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's early days yet, but Atyrau has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels so far (2 games).
