Astana vs Irtysh: Team News and Expert Analysis
Recently, the nation’s main football power has been losing ground. Last season, there was an attempt to reclaim the top spot, but Kairat managed to collect a couple more points. Now, Astana has slipped to the middle of the table. After a 1-1 draw with Altai, the club is only in fifth place.
The Pavlodar club finished second in the First League, which was enough to return to the top division after a five-year break, especially as the league expanded the number of participants to sixteen. The main goal now is to stay up, but this isn’t going smoothly—so far, they’ve only beaten Altai, lost nearly half of their matches, and were knocked out of the cup early. However, three draws in a row allow them to at least hold on to fourteenth place.
The vice-champion is averaging 1.42 goals per match this season while conceding noticeably less, at 1.08 per game. For the newcomer, the stats are the exact opposite: 1.08 goals scored and 1.42 conceded on average.
