FC Astana lost to Villarreal 1:3 on the road in the first round of the UEFA Europa League Group stage. the Kazakhs participated in two clashes within the Kazakhstan's Premier League after that failure, having won both of them: 4:1 vs. Kaisar Kyzylorda and 2:0 vs. Taraz. With 26 gameweeks behind, FC Astana settle on the second place in the elite division standings with 66 points earned and 63-15 goal difference.

Slavia Prague come up to the fight in Kazakhstan with eight-game undefeated streak, having gained four triumphs and four draws since the 19th of August. The Czechs entered the Group stage with 1:0 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv. After eight rounds played in the Czech 1. Liga, the club sits on the third position in the table with 16 points taken and 11-2 goal difference. The weak spot of Ruslan Rotan's team is its performance on the road as this season Slavia Prague recorded not a single triumph, four draws and two losses in six encounters at away turfs.
The rivals have never met before. FC Astana have forgotten already the taste of the home failure while Slavia Prague cannot remember when they get an away victory for the last time, but not in this season for sure. Basing on that statistics, I presume that the hosts will be able to pick up points on Thursday.
Prediction for the match: FC Astana to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
