With their 7 point advantage in the league table, Shakhter Karagandy fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Taraz.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Taraz have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
