Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Irtysh languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Shakhter Karagandy will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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 Irtysh and Shakhter Karagandy.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Shakhter Karagandy's home stadium. The visitors last eleven games on artificial turf have ended in 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses.

Irtysh form and stats

With 2 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Irtysh, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The points were shared in Irtysh's previous game, also at home. Visiting Shakhter Karagandy travelled back with a point after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that, Irtysh played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Taraz.

This is expected to be a close game, with Irtysh perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Irtysh as a small favourite), we find six games. Irtysh has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 4.

Irtysh has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches: 3 goals from 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
