"Kaspiy" will host "Kairat" in the framework of the 6th round of the Kazakhstan Cup. Will the current champion of Kazakhstan be able to reach the playoffs of the national Cup?
"Kaspiy"
When the composition of the participants of group D became known, many people put "Caspian" in 2-3 places. However, the pre-match layouts again diverged from the case and "Kaspiy" surprised not only the opponents, but also himself. On the eve of the last round of the group stage, Kaspiy leads the quartet, having 13 points out of 15 possible, and even a defeat will not prevent it from remaining on the first line, since Kairat and Turan, who are behind, have six points each.
"Kairat"
But "Kairat" is disappointing, both in the national Cup, having won two victories with three defeats, and in the championship, where it is only third and is five points behind the leading "Tobol". However, the chances of winning both the championship and the Cup are high, because there is still enough time to correct mistakes. However, the situation is much more complicated in the Kazakhstan Cup, because only a victory is needed to pass further, and the Caspian, which is in excellent shape, will certainly do everything to continue the win-win move.
Statistics and figures:
- "Kaspiy" has not lost or conceded in the current Cup draw yet: 4 wins and a draw, and the overall score is 8-0;
- "Kairat" won two victories with three defeats;
- In the first round, Kaspiy won 2-0.
Forecast
"Kaspiy" is good, but "Kairat" has a better selection of performers and being in a difficult situation, it is obliged to get together and win a vital victory.
