Tobol take on the visitors Ferencvaros in the first leg of round of 16 in UEFA Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 6th at Centralnyj Stadion (Kostanay).
Tobol have never left the elite division of Kazakhstan. But, having become the champion in 2010, then for a long time the “combiners” rolled back to the middle of the table. Only in 2018 did they start appearing again in the draw leader group. The season before last, there was already a struggle for the championship, but then Kairat was clearly stronger. In 2021, the 1st place was nevertheless taken by the team from Kostanay. Astana was ahead by 4 points. By the way, now the new championship of Kazakhstan is in full swing. And so far, everything is going on in an extremely stubborn struggle. Wards of Milan Milanovic are fighting with 3-4 competitors, who have more or less equal chances for final success. But, of course, the start in the Champions League is now the No. 1 event for Tobol. Suffice it to say that the opening of the start of ticket sales for this match just "put" the club's official website. He simply could not stand the number of visits.

Ferencvaros have glorious history. But, most importantly, they have regained the status of the flagship of Hungarian football. And unconditional: even after the departure of Sergei Rebrov, who managed to win the champion title again. Not everything worked out, but Stanislav Cherchesov appeared in December, and as a result they broke away from the nearest pursuer by as much as 12 points. This is already the 4th title in a row in Hungary, and the Fradi have a record 33 titles in total. But European Cup ambitions have already been awakened in Budapest. Under the Ukrainian coach, they even managed to get into the group stage of the Champions League. True, in the next draw, in 2021, they have already limited themselves to only the same level in the Europa League. However, even then, the Hungarians passed Pristina, Zalgiris and even Slavia Prague in qualification. And only the strong "Young Boys" turned out to be stronger in the decisive round. Now Ferencvaros clearly faces the task of reaching the group of this Champions League.
Tobol, of course, is not a European Cup debutant. But you can't call him a regular either. So it is not surprising that this will be the first ever visit to Kostanay for Ferencvaros. Bookmakers do not believe that even the usual Kazakh trump card in the form of a meeting venue will help Tobol. Ferencvaros is head and shoulders above and must prove it with a win already away.
Prediction for the match: Ferencvaros to win.
