Struggling Taraz will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Tobol in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

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 (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 14-4-10 (win-draw-loss) from 28 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.

Taraz form and stats

4-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Taraz so far this season. Taraz has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager V. Masudov and the players. The Taraz manager V. Masudov might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The fans are hoping that Taraz will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the Premier League game against Astana. Preceding that match was the home game against Kairat that was lost 0-2.

Taraz are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 attempts. Taraz have conceded 13 in these home matches.
