Atyrau

LLLLLL ☠

Atyrau will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-1 Premier League defeat last time out to Astana.

Chinedu Geoffrey (2', 45') was the scorer for Astana.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times where Atyrau haven’t conceded. The facts show that Atyrau have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 18 goals along the way. We shall soon find out if that trend will be continued on in this game.

Astana

DWWWDW 📈

A succession of reliable displays from the Astana defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures in total. In that period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 11.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking over their prior head to head meetings dating back to 23/10/2022 shows us that Atyrau have won 1 of these games and Astana 3, with the number of drawn results standing at 2.

15 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 5 of them from The Oilers and 10 netted by The Blue and Yellows. That is an average goals per game value of 2.5.

The last league encounter featuring the two was Premier League match day 6 on 26/04/2025 when it ended Astana 2-1 Atyrau.

📋 Team News: Atyrau

There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Atyrau manager Viktor Kumykov to contend with from a near full-strength group. Giorgi Nikabadze (unknown injury) will miss out.

📋 Team News: Astana

Astana manager Grigori Babayan has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Erdon Daci (Cruciate ligament injury) and Alisher Suleymen (Shoulder injury) are not able to play.

✨ Prediction

For this match, we think that Atyrau have it within them to breach the defence of this Astana team, but one goal may not quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We’ve gone for a narrow 1-2 winning score for Astana at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s see what happens here.
