Shakhter Karaganda will host Kaspiy in the match of the 24th round of the Championship of Kazakhstan. Which of the neighbors in the standings will be stronger?
Shakhtar
Shakhtar approaches the match of the 24th round with a 4-match series without defeats, which consists of two wins and two draws. Before that, the Miners lost to Astana with a score of 3-4 and this defeat is the only one for them in the eight previous rounds. On the eve of the 24th round, Shakhtar has 27 points and is on the ninth line, having no tournament motivation, since the relegation zone is not threatened, and it is impossible to get to the European Cup zone.
"Caspian"
Caspian is also finishing the season, being on the eighth line with 28 points. In the previous round, Kaspiy was left without points, losing to Kyzyl-Zhar with a score of 1-2. This defeat was already the ninth for Caspian in the current championship, and besides it there are seven victories and the same number of defeats. Two rounds ago, Kaspiy beat Atyrau 2-1, breaking a 5-match winless streak consisting of four defeats and a draw.
Statistics and figures:
- Shakhtar has not lost for four matches;
- Kaspiy does not win two rounds;
- In the first round match, Kaspiy won 3-0.
Forecast
The teams don't need anything anymore, as there is no tournament motivation left. And this means that they can play openly and effectively, without pressure. I think that's exactly what will happen, as a result of which the audience will see at least two goals.
