Taraz-Karatau 2 vs Yassy tips and predictions

Yassy to salvage something; stalemate beckons

There's not much between Taraz-Karatau 2 and Yassy in the First Division. The hosts are in fifth place with 10 points, compared to their opponents who are in fourth place on 11 points.

The short price for Taraz-Karatau 2 renders them a no-bet. Yassy don't look likely get the win but they can make a match of it. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. In their last 6 matches Taraz-Karatau 2 have only conceded 0.5 goals. Meanwhile Yassy have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 games.

The betting markets suggest that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Taraz-Karatau 2. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that makes more sense.

Taraz-Karatau 2 have drawn 4 of their last 6 matches. They drew 1-1 with Zhetysu Taldykorgan at home earlier this month. Yassy have drawn 2 of their last 6 matches. They drew with FK Kyran last Sunday. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be nervous about but the draw is food for thought. Deadlock is the pick after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
