Premier League match preview and statistics: Irtysh fight Tobol

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

It's quite the trip for Tobol when visiting Irtysh as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.

Irtysh form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Irtysh, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in Premier League, have only managed 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses so far from their games here. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Irtysh with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Okzhetpes game, 41 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Irtysh are very eager to stop a potential losing streak, having lost their two previous games here.

Irtysh's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Tobol. Preceding that match was the home game against Kairat that was lost 0-2.

Irtysh have scored 5 goals here in 11 matches, a depressing statistic. Irtysh's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Tobol form and stats

It could be a hat trick of victories away for Tobol, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Tobol play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Irtysh. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Atyrau.
