There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Zhetysu - Shakhter Karagandy latest:
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. That game was also an away game, at Astana. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Shakhter Karagandy have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

A good away victory last time out for Zhetysu, who won 2-0 against Taraz (placed 8th). Heartbreak before that as Zhetysu lost 0-2 at Tobol's place.
