In the match of the 6th round of the Kazakhstan Cup, Kaisar will host Akzhayyk. Will the guests be able to keep the lead in the group?
"Kaisar"
After four rounds, Kaisar went undefeated and led Group C with eight points out of twelve possible. However, the fifth round reduced the chances of "Kaisar "to reach the playoffs, as it lost 0-1 to" Astana " and dropped to the third place. Now "Kaysar" has the same eight points, and "Astana" and "Akzhayyk" have ten points each, therefore, the hosts need only a victory in the reporting match.
"Akzhayyk"
But "Akzhayyk" started modestly in the national Cup, having won only one victory in the first round - 2: 0 over "Aktobe". In addition to it, there was a 0-0 draw with "Kaysar", as well as a 0-1 defeat from "Astana". It seemed that Akzhayyk had almost no chance of getting out of the group, but he managed to gather himself and won two important victories - 3:0 over Astana and 2:1 over Aktobe. Before the final round, Akzhayyk leads the quartet with ten points. If he wins, he is guaranteed to remain first, if he plays in a draw, he will go to the playoffs in any case.

Forecast
In the last full-time match, "Kaysar" and "Akzhayyk" managed without scoring goals, it is unlikely that we should expect an abundance of effective strikes in the upcoming match. I think that the total less than 3 looks very passable.
