Season ticket holders at Stadion Karasay haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Kyzyl-Zhar languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Taraz 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 Kyzyl-Zhar and Taraz.
Kyzyl-Zhar's stadium, Stadion Karasay, has a artifical turf surface. Taraz have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Taraz when playing on artifical turf; 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses from eight matches. They have scored 5 goals in these games and conceded 19.
These teams have little in common geographically as Taraz have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Kyzyl-Zhar form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Kyzyl-Zhar have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games.
In their previous game, the manager V. Rusnac led his Kyzyl-Zhar to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Okzhetpes. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Karasay. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Kaisar that ended 0-0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Ordabasy are coming to town in four days.
The Kyzyl-Zhar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. 5 goals have been conceded.
Taraz form and stats
1 win, 4 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Taraz playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. The last three matches for Taraz have all ended in a draw.
A 1-1 draw at Ordabasy's stadium before that.
Drawing 2-2 against Kaisar after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager V. Nikitenko needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
After this away game Taraz return home for a Premier League game against Kaspiy. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The visiting Taraz have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 6 games. Taraz have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
