Turkistan vs Ekibastuz tips and predictions

Jury still out in this one

There's not much between Turkistan and Ekibastuz in the First Division. The hosts are in sixth place with 8 points, compared to their opponents who are in third place on 10 points.

Any outcome looks possible here. The draw looks interesting. With goals being hard to come by in the build up to this one, this could end up with clean-sheets at both ends and it's certainly not one to get carried away with. That said, the draw is the play from the match winner market.

These sides have not been at their best in front of goal. Turkistan have averaged 0.7 goals in their last 3 home starts and they'd have wanted more from those clashes. Similarly Ekibastuz have averaged 0.7 goals in their last 3 away campaigns.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 3 of the last 5 have ended with parity.

Few could argue with the notion that both sides can get in on the act as they could be well matched. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks more tempting on this occasion. Also, if you're interested in the goal line, it's no more than one goal picked as the best play considering the odds that are available there.

Turkistan have drawn 4 of their last 8 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 0-0 with Kaisar Kyzylorda 2 at home in April. Ekibastuz have drawn 5 of their last 12 away matches. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds. The draw is the play after what will probably be a close encounter.
