After the first round it's Kyzyl-Zhar - Shakhter Karagandy 0-1 in points. Who will triumph in this second Premier League fixture of the season?
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Shakhter Karagandy have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-5-6 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
