You may not agree but Kyzylzhar might have reasons to be confident about adding to Kaspij Aktau's latest reverses. The visitors come into the match with 4 losses from their last 5 away assignments. That might not be good enough preparation for this.

The home side's defence could be the key to victory for them. Notably, they've kept things tight recently - they have kept a clean sheet in 12 of their last 20 home games. While the hosts have looked capable of soaking up pressure, the away side has really had their resistance challenged. Away from home Kaspij Aktau have conceded two or more times in all of their last 5 trips. It will be interesting to see what tactical changes they implement.
