It's still early in the Premier League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Kaisar - Zhetysu preview!
It's no vacation for neither Kaisar nor Zhetysu 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.
It's quite the trip for Zhetysu when visiting Kaisar as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.
Kaisar form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Kaisar's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadion im. Gany Muratbaeva.
Kaisar enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Shakhter Karagandy's place. The match ended 1-0 with A. Marochkin scoring. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Taraz that ended 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Kaisar perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kaisar as a small favourite), we find eight games. Kaisar has won five of these, drawn two and lost one.
Kaisar has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Zhetysu form and stats
Things could have gone better for Zhetysu in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
The manager D. Ogay was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Ortalıq Stadion Jetisu. Zhetysu suffered a 2-3 loss to Ordabasy (placed 3rd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kairat wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
Leading 2-0 was not enough for Zhetysu in their fight with Ordabasy last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Zhetysu playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Zhetysu wins, one draw and two defeats.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Zhetysu has managed 2 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Kaisar two wins, two draws and Zhetysu six victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
