Meanwhile, the Europeans football fans got to know about Shakhtar Karagandy couple of years ago when the team appeared in the qualification for the UEFA Champions League, having produced rather solid performance. Nevertheless, “Шахтерлер” currently settle on the pre-last position in Kazakhstan’s Premier League table, having picked up 16 points in 17 encounters conducted. The team’s offense is a complete disaster as it has scored miserable 12 goals so far while its defense is doing a bit better with 19 goals conceded. In the recent fights played on the road Shakhtar Karagandy have failed against Aktobe 0:2, Atyrau 1:3 and Kyzylzhar 0:1.
In face of their supporters FC Astana succeeded in last five head-to-heads against Shakhtar Karagandy in a row. At this point “The Citizens” obviously look much stronger than their upcoming opponent, consequently, they are unlikely to lose such important points in the forthcoming encounter.
Prediction for the match: FC Astana to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
