Command Analysis
Zhenis
KazakhstanCurrent form
"Zhenis" performed rather averagely in the championship, taking only tenth place in the final table. In the last round, the nominal hosts lost to "Kyzylzhar" (0:1), breaking a five-match unbeaten streak. The minimum task was accomplished - the team managed to maintain registration in the Premier League, which is not so bad for a newcomer. There is also a chance to take the league cup, but beating "Astana" in the final will be extremely difficult. However, in the semi-finals, Akis Vavalis charges managed to beat "Kairat" (2:0, 1:2), who took the gold medals of the championship, which means they can compete with the silver medalist.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the final match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has conceded one goal in each of its last three matches.
- Zhenis has lost only one of its last six matches
Estimated lineup: Anarbekov - Mukanov, Rom, Tevzadze, Belancic - Budinski, Volkov, Zhunussov, Sovet - Prokopenko, Pantsulaya
FC Astana
KazakhstanCurrent form
Astana has failed to win gold medals in the Kazakhstan Championship for the second year in a row. Last season, the capital team lost to Ordabasy, and now the team has been overtaken by Almaty Kairat. The Yellow-Blues lost by only one point. In addition to domestic competitions, the nominal guests also play in the Conference League. It all started well - in the first round, Grigory Babayan team beat the silver medalist of the Serbian Super League, Backa Topola (1:0), but then lost to Welsh New Saints (0:2) and Cypriot Paphos (0:1). In the semi-finals of the League Cup, Astana beat Yelimai in a penalty shootout.
Disqualifications and injuries
Astana has no losses ahead of the final match.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the team last nine matches have ended in a draw.
- The capital club has never lost to Zhenis in head-to-head matches
Estimated lineup: Chondric - Vorogovsky, Kalajica, Kazukolovas, Bartolec - Amanovich, Ebong - Kamara, Gripshi, Tomasov - Joffrey
Tip and bets
Astana failed to achieve success in either the championship or the national cup, and the only hope left is to win the league cup. The capital team is much superior to the Premier League newcomer in terms of roster, so the favorite is simply obliged to win this match. For Zhenis, reaching the final is already a huge success, but it is unlikely to be able to jump above its head, especially considering that the “black and yellow” have never beaten Astana in their history.
Our prediction is Astana victory at 1.64
Bet on total
The teams will clearly be motivated for the final match of the League Cup, becoming the first winner of the trophy in the history of this tournament will be very honorable. We believe that the opponents will play with an eye on their goal, because any mistake can cost a lot. We think that we will have a cautious game, so we advise you to bet on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.55
Bet on corners
If Astana plays the way they can, they will win the match not only by the score, but also by other indicators, including the number of corner kicks.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1.5) for corners on Astana with odds of 1.78
