It's only seven days since Taraz ran out versus Aktobe and the scoreline was 0-0. What will the score be hosting Tobol?
- Taraz have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
- Tobol have the fewest conceded goals (16) in Premier League
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Tobol have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 17-5-7 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
Tobol have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
