On Wednesday afternoon, in the second leg of the 1/4 finals of the Kazakhstan Cup, Turan Turkestan will host a home match against Astana in Shymkent. Your attention is invited to the forecast for this meeting.
"Turan"
Turan is a representative of the First Division of Kazakhstan, where, after nine matches played, it takes second place in the standings, 3 points behind the leader. In the last four rounds of the championship, he did not make a single misfire. In the current draw of the national Cup, Turkistans passed "Yassy" (4:0), "Zhetysay" (4:0), "Khan Tengri" (4:3), "Elimay" (2:1) and "Caspian" (1:0, 2:1).
"Astana"
Astana residents are leading in the Kazakhstan Premier League standings, but only nominally, since the gap from Ordabasy is 3 points, and the opponent has 2 matches in reserve at once. The last time Grigory Babayan's team lost was in mid-April, having already played 11 official matches since that time. In the Cup of the country, she started from the 1/8 finals, confidently defeating "Kaysar" (5:1, 2:0).
Statistics and figures
- Turan has won 4 matches out of the last five, losing only once;
- In the last three matches, Turan has scored at least 4 goals;
- Turan has a 5-match drawless streak at home (3 wins + 2 losses);
- "Astana" has never in history lost in face-to-face meetings to "Turan" (2 wins + 5 draws);
- Astana has an 11-match winless streak (9 wins + 2 draws);
- "Astana" has not scored in eight of the last nine matches;
- Astana has a 16-match unbeaten away streak (11 wins + 5 draws).
Forecast
Turan scored 14 goals in the last three matches. It is clear that it was in the First Division, but still. "Astana" made a good start in the first match, so it can show a certain relaxation here. It is hardly possible to talk about any intrigue for a ticket to the semifinals here, but still Turkestanis should score their goal.
