Struggling Taraz will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Kairat in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Taraz has the fewest matches over the total-line (4) in Premier League
- Kairat has the most scored goals (48) in Premier League
Taraz have less rest than Kairat in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only two days ago. That game was an away game at Tobol, so at least Taraz are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Taraz are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Happy, happy days for Kairat who are already winners of the Premier League. This could affect their motivation.
