"Tobol"
Tobol is unlikely to be able to compete for the championship title, as it is seven points behind the leading Aktobe, but it will compete for the third line.

In the round before last, Tobol lost 0-2 to Atyrau, and in the next match returned to the winning path, beating Astana 2-1.
Shakhtar Soligorsk
In the previous round, Shakhtar unexpectedly remained without points, losing at home to Caspian (0-1), and before that they gave out a 5-match winless streak, which included four victories and a draw. The upcoming match is very important for the Soligorsk club, because if it loses, it will lag behind the third position by at least eight points. On the eve of the 21st round, Shakhtar has 30 points and takes fourth place.
