Zhetysu and Kaisar have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premier League.
It's no vacation for neither Zhetysu nor Kaisar as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Kaisar have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Zhetysu form and stats
Zhetysu have played 6 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Zhetysu are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
The fans are hoping that Zhetysu will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Premier League game against Ordabasy (placed 3rd). Ahead of that match, Zhetysu lost 2-4 at home to Kairat.
This is expected to be a close game, with Zhetysu perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zhetysu as a small favourite), we find five games. Zhetysu has won two of these, drawn one and lost two.
The Zhetysu fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 6 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Zhetysu defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
