Atyrau vs Elimai: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Atyrau collected only nineteen points in 2025. Still, that was enough to finish second from bottom, and the number of participants in the division was increased. Now, they have noticeably improved, losing rarely, though mostly drawing their matches. However, they failed to pick up points against Caspiy, losing back-to-back matches.
The team from Semipalatinsk finished fourth last season with 48 points. This earned them a spot in the Conference League, where they began their campaign against Alashkert this week. Domestically, however, they have struggled, losing as often as they win. This made it all the more important to beat Kyzyl-Zhar in both fixtures.
Cheburin’s squad plays dull football: they score just 0.75 goals per game, but concede even less, 0.81 on average. Semey scores 1.5 goals per game on average, but also concedes 1.19.
