Atyrau supporters put their faith in manager O. Dulub to deliver victory against Aktobe

It's no vacation for neither Atyrau nor Aktobe as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Aktobe have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Atyrau form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Atyrau have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses so far from their games here at Stadion Munayşı. Atyrau are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Stadion Munayşı, but a victory now would be sweet for Atyrau.

Atyrau drew their last game, also a home match. Aktobe was the opponent, 1-1 the score. The points were shared before that, a Kazakhstan Cup home game that ended 0-0 versus Ordabasy.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atyrau have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 0.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Atyrau here at Stadion Munayşı, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Atyrau have conceded 10 from these games.

Aktobe form and stats

There's been little loot from Aktobe's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games. Aktobe, who have the most conceded goals (29) in Premier League, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.

Aktobe has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Atyrau for a Premier League game that ended a draw (1-1). A loss against Tobol was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have checked recent matches where Aktobe have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were W0-D1-L1.

The attacking power of Aktobe when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored in 7 matches. Aktobe have conceded 14 goals in these games.
