Tobol take on the visitors Basel in the second leg of UEFA Conference League qualification quarterfinals. First leg result: 3-1. The match will be played on Thursday, August 3rd at Centralnyj Stadion (Kostanay).
Tobol continue to lose ground. In 2021, "The Combine" secured their second championship title. However, they couldn't retain the "gold" in Kostanay in the following season. Moreover, they not only conceded to the resurgent Astana but also trailed Aktau by 5 points, settling for the 5th place. Still, their third-place finish was enough to secure a spot in the European competitions once again, this time in the Conference League. There, the Kazakh team pleasantly surprised by overcoming their first opponent - Honka (2-1 at home with a brace from Vukadinovich, 0-0 in Finland). In Switzerland, there was a real sensation as they won 3-1, taking a significant step towards overall success.

Basel lost positions again. "Rotblau" secured their status as the 20-time champions of Switzerland. From 2010 to 2017, no one could surpass them in the Super League. However, they were pushed to the second position after that. There were hopes of gradually regaining their positions, and in 2022, they managed to climb to the second place. But instead of further improvement and a return to the "gold," they suffered a downfall, landing on the 5th position. It's no wonder that they made changes to the squad in the summer, and a new coach, Timo Schultz, appeared. However, the German coach's debut resulted in a defeat against St. Gallen. The story continued with Tobol, and they managed to turn things around only in Winterthur, beating them 5-2.
2006, the teams met in the qualifying round of the Europa League. Basel won at home with a draw in Kostanay. The Swiss team is expected to win, but it might not be enough for them. So, we can anticipate an exciting match that should result in "Total over 2.5 goals scored."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
