Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Irtysh languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Zhetysu 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 Zhetysu.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Zhetysu have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches. Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Irtysh form and stats
Irtysh have played three home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Irtysh to get some points in this home game.The fans are hoping that Irtysh will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Premier League game against Okzhetpes. Ahead of that match, Irtysh lost 0-1 at home to Aktobe.
The manager D. Dimitrov will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Astana in only three days.
Irtysh have scored 2 goals here in 3 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Irtysh have conceded only 2 goals.
Zhetysu form and stats
Things could have gone better for Zhetysu in their away games, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.Zhetysu's last game was the home draw against Atyrau (0-0). A 0-0 draw at Tobol's stadium before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Zhetysu are hosting Taraz in the Premier League only three days away.
Zhetysu are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels and have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Zhetysu's manager D. Ogay has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
