Lokomotiv Astana vs FC Zhetysu Taldykorgan
Friday (31/5), FC Astana will return to headquarters to face Zhetysu Taldykorgan in match day 13 of the Premier League. They hope to use this opportunity to return to winning ways after reaping less than optimal results throughout April.
Last week FC Astana left for Okzhetpes Kokshetau headquarters and had to go home 1-1. The victory was almost brought before the hosts managed to equalize on 91 minutes through the action of Milan Stojanovi. To complete the suffering of the visitors, Serikzhan Muzhikov was red carded 3 minutes later.
With that result, last month’s report cards were dominated by defeats because they appeared in 3 matches, while the remaining 2 won and 1 draw. However, FC Astana remains firm at the top with a difference of 3 points from Tobol Kostanay below.
Meanwhile, Zhetysu Taldykorgan acted as host last week when facing Emperor Kyzylorda, and only needed Kamo Hovhannisyan’s only goal to win. With this result, they have won 3 wins this month, while the remaining 1 draw and 1 loss. They also ranked 6th with a difference of just 2 points from Tobol Kostanay.
Of course they want to go up there even though this time playing at the enemy base. They also kept a bad record against FC Astana with 6 consecutive defeats after the end of March and were silenced with a score of 0-2 at home to give up 12-0 on aggregate. Can they take advantage of the host crisis to bury the record?
Our Prediction: 1
