Tobol vs Shakhtar Karaganda: Match Prediction for the Kazakhstan Championship

Current Form

Tobol has a theoretical chance to compete for a top-3 finish, but their recent performance has been disappointing, making this unlikely. They currently trail by eight points for a European competition spot and have only managed one win in the last four matches. With such results, aiming for a place among the top teams seems futile.

Injuries and Suspensions

Ruslan Valiulin is injured and will not take to the field.

Notable Betting Trends

• Tobol has scored at home in their last three matches.

• The hosts conceded goals in three of their last four games.

Potential Starting Lineup:Pokatilov – Tapalov, Miladinovich, Ndiay, Arsanqulov – Ivanovich, Galym, Mosiashvili, El-Messaoudi, Enen – Kosta

Current Form

Karaganda's Shakhter is the only Premier League team that has never been relegated from the top division. This season, the miners have performed poorly, and there is a real chance they may not retain their elite status, having spent considerable time at the bottom of the league table. They trail the safe spot by four points, and considering they’ve only managed to earn two points in the last eight matches, that is a significant disadvantage.

Disqualifications and Injuries

There are no injured players in the team.

Interesting Betting Trends

• Shakhter has lost 12 consecutive away matches.

• In three of their last four away games, Shakhter left the pitch without scoring a goal.

Projected Lineup:Shabanov – Savkiv, Stamenkovich, Campo – Kozlov, Altynkhan, Drachenko, Kanyas, Takhanov – Ashortiya, Djokic.
